Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me what the normal value of phenylketonuria is?Doctor's answer:
Phenylketonuria is a genetic disease. It is caused by a deficiency of enzymes in the catabolic process, making it an amino acid catabolic disease. It is recommended to use venous blood for confirmation. Once diagnosed, active treatment should be promptly initiated to prevent missing the optimal treatment window. The normal value should not exceed 1.2. If the value is below this, a thorough examination is necessary, and active cooperation with the doctor is required.
