Question
What is the normal value for phenylketonuria?
Answer
Phenylketonuria is a congenital metabolic disorder, and the best treatment method is dietary control. This involves long-term use of low-protein foods and avoiding excessive protein intake as the disease can lead to protein metabolism disorders, which in turn increases the body’s burden. This dietary control is typically needed until adolescence is complete. The earlier the treatment begins, the better the outcome.
