Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a hereditary disorder that prevents normal use of protein foods. Amino acids called phenylalanines exist in many proteins. For ordinary people, extra (undesirable) phenylalanine accumulated by food is excreted or degraded. It is converted to tyrosine (other amino acids) by a specific organic catalyst (enzyme), commonly called phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). People born at PKU can not do this because their PAH enzyme is not active. The primary effect of this excess accumulation is usually damage to the nervous system by spinal fluid and residual amino acids in the blood. This can be avoided by making immediate diagnosis. If no one detects PKU within a few weeks of life, the brain is irreversibly damaged. For this reason, most states in the United States need to examine similar diseases that require PKU and other early detection.

Blood test of abnormally high levels of phenylalanine If it is positive, a second test will still be conducted to ensure results. There is a possibility that severe mental retardation may occur in life of just a few months, so time to treatment is not wasted

Typical treatments do not include long series of medications. It's actually just a change in meals. This is not a strict eating habit, but it is at least from infancy to adolescence and is very important for people's health. Scientists have now found a new reason to teach someone to eat in adulthood, especially for pregnant mothers. Food with diet is lacking phenylalanine but contains many other nutrients. Various people are involved in the treatment of patients at PKU. The doctor prescribes the meal, the nutritionist designs the meal, the child's parents are responsible for the meal, and the subject must cooperate. What to do
