Baby Sensor 100+ is a modern, non-invasive, postnatal test that examines 250 metabolites in a baby's urine sample and allows the diagnostics of more than 100 genetic metabolic disorders. The test is carried out in children - from 48 hours of birth to 5 years of age. Urine is used as research material. The maximum response time is 28 working days.

The material is sent to the "Synevo" partner laboratory in Austria, which is an automated genetic laboratory accredited in Europe.

The research results are analyzed and interpreted by geneticists. The research report is comprehensive, providing complete information on the investigated diseases and recommendations.

Test performance method
Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

 

Advanced newborn metabolic screening

Newborn screening is an important component of preventive medicine, which includes a panel of tests for the early identification of pathological conditions, where timely intervention leads to the elimination or reduction of morbidity, mortality and limited abilities.

Hereditary metabolic disorders are a group of monogenic diseases, they affect the functions of proteins that play an important role in the functioning of various metabolic processes (enzymes, cofactors, receptors, transporters, etc.). The resulting biochemical disturbances lead to accumulation of intermediate or indirect metabolites or deficiency of terminal metabolites, leading to severe disorders such as lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, or hyperammonemia. These disorders affect the metabolism of amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, purines and pyrimidines. More than 500 inherited metabolic disorders have been identified to date, with an estimated global cumulative incidence of 1/800 to 1/2500 newborns.

With early diagnostics, some inherited metabolic disorders can be treated. On the other hand, even if treatment fails, the Baby Sensor100+ test is justified in order to plan subsequent pregnancies through prenatal diagnostics.

Most pathological metabolites associated with hereditary diseases are excreted in the urine. It is precisely because of the simplicity of urine sampling that it is preferred in the production of newborn screening tests.

When should we take the test?

  • Newborns from the first 48 hours, children up to 5 years old
  • When hereditary metabolic diseases are suspected (selective screening)

The test is carried out in cases of such violations as:

  • Disorders of physical development
  • Signs of brain damage
  • Immune system disorders
  • Mental retardation
  • Chronic skin diseases
  • weight loss
  • Hearts
  • Speech disorders
  • Skin pigmentation disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • behavioral disorders
  • and many others

Possible interpretation of the results

By analyzing 250 metabolites in the urine, a chromatographic profile (chromatogram) of the sample is created, which is compared to the normal values ​​of each disease.

The detected metabolic diseases are classified into 4 types - A, B, C, D - according to the type of possible intervention:

  • Type A – preventive and curative measures are effective for identified conditions
  • Type B – the prevention of the identified condition is difficult, however, the correct diagnostics of complications
    It is important for prevention and treatment
  • Type C – These disorders cause complications in only 10% of cases requiring treatment.
    90% of people will have no symptoms at all
  • Type D – existing disorders have a serious impact on health, early diagnostics
    Even in conditions, however, the correct diagnostics of symptomatic treatment and complications
    provides an opportunity for prevention

Taking some drugs or infusion therapy can cause a change in the concentration of one or another metabolite in the urine; Therefore, it is necessary to correlate the obtained results with clinical data. If the child is taking any medications and/or supplements, please list them.

Reference values

Baby Sensor 100+ studies can be purchased both on-site and online

After purchasing the study, the patient's parent/guardian will be given a sample collection kit, along with a Georgian-language referral form and sample collection instructions.

The parent/guardian will also be given verbal instructions on how to collect, dry, seal and document the urine samples.

Urine sample collection kit

The sample collection kit contains 3 filter papers and a blotting paper

The set of samples to be collected is accompanied by instructions for collecting samples in Georgian and an application form, without which the research will not be conducted without filling and marking

Sampling method

A sample collection kit containing 3 pieces of filter paper and a blotting paper should be opened

The instructions specify 3 versions of urine sampling. It is recommended to take samples by all three methods. (One filter paper is used for each sampling method. 3 episodes of urination will be required).

  • Direct urine sampling method – hold the filter paper near the child's genitals so that the paper gets wet when urinating.
  • Diaper Insert Method – Place the filter paper on a clean diaper and put the baby on. Check once every 30 minutes. If the fecal mass gets on the filter paper, the material is unusable and try to collect the sample again or by another method (do not soak the paper with the contents of already wet diapers. Such urine is diluted and useless for research)
  • Soaking method - collect the urine in a clean container and wet the filter paper until thoroughly soaked.

Place the urine-soaked filter papers on paper towels and dry at room temperature for 10 hours.

Warning: It is not allowed to dry the samples by direct sunlight, hair dryer, etc
