Your baby’s screening result – Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is suspected
The result of your baby’s ‘heel prick’ screening blood test suggests they might have medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). Your baby now needs further tests to check whether he or she has MCADD or not.
This leaflet gives you some information about MCADD and explains what happens next.
