Phenylketonuria see what department

Patient's question:

My brother has phenylketonuria, and now I want to take him to the hospital to see a doctor. I don't know which department to register for. I don't know if it's okay to register under surgery. Hello, which department do you register for phenylketonuria?

Doctor's answer:

The clinical manifestations of phenylketonuria are inconsistent. The main clinical manifestations include intellectual disability, mental and neurological symptoms, eczema skin scratches, loss of pigmentation, and a rat-like odor.
Guidance: If you have concerns, you can visit the endocrinology department of a hospital for three years or more. Generally, these tests can be performed. If early diagnosis and early treatment can be obtained, the chances of recovery will be relatively higher.
