This research aims to assess the effectiveness of biochemical methods for diagnosing prenatal alcohol exposure and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in the neonatal period.
Reviewed existing literature on prenatal alcohol exposure assessment methods.
Analyzed alcohol metabolites in neonatal meconium as a diagnostic tool.
Evaluated the feasibility of laboratory assays for pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Alcohol metabolites in meconium show potential for routine diagnostic use, though with limitations.
Identification of specific cytokines may aid in assessing fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Need for further validation and replication of biomarkers before standard clinical implementation.
