Phenylketonuria Clinic

A Phenylketonuria (PKU) Clinic specializes in diagnosing and managing PKU, a genetic disorder where the body cannot properly process an amino acid called phenylalanine found in many foods. Without treatment, high levels of phenylalanine can cause brain damage and intellectual disabilities. The clinic provides blood testing, dietary guidance, and monitoring to help individuals keep phenylalanine levels within a safe range. Early diagnosis and consistent management are essential for preventing health issues, enabling individuals with PKU to lead healthy lives through tailored nutrition plans and regular medical follow-up.
