What are the screening indicators for phenylketonuria in newborns?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. What are the screening indicators for phenylketonuria in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

Newborn phenylketonuria has an amino acid metabolic disorder. The screening standard is below 1.2 mmol/L as the normal value. If abnormalities are detected, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and receive treatment according to the doctor's guidance. Proper nutrition should be supplemented, drink plenty of water, maintain a proper work-rest schedule, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Pay attention to appropriate dietary combinations, and maintain a positive mood. Regular follow-up is necessary.
