Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency - Diagnosis

How is MCADD diagnosed?

In the past, individuals with MCADD were diagnosed when they presented with symptoms. However, with newborn screening, babies can now be screened for MCADD after 24 hours of life, when they are asymptomatic and well.

If the newborn screening indicates suspected MCADD, additional testing via blood and urine will be needed to confirm if the child has MCADD.
