Question
Is a Phenylketonuria level of 2.15 high or not?
Answer
The normal phenylalanine concentration in adults ranges from 0.06 to 0.18 mmol/L. Your child’s detailed examination result is slightly elevated, but it is not enough to make a diagnosis; a repeat test is required for confirmation, and it should be combined with other tests and clinical presentations to make an inference. Moreover, the baby’s body functions are still developing, and other factors such as diaper changing times can also lead to abnormal phenylalanine levels. It is recommended to have a timely re-examination.
