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. Could you please tell me the symptoms and characteristics of phenylketonuria?Doctor's answer:
The baby's urine has no odor, so it cannot be ruled out as phenylketonuria. If the hospital doubts it is phenylketonuria, further careful examination is needed to confirm. DNA testing can be performed, as gene test results are more accurate. Phenylketonuria is a relatively common genetic disease involving abnormal amino acid metabolism. It is best to take the baby for further careful examination to clarify the condition. Early treatment can reduce the impact of the disease on the baby.
