Detailed explanation-2: -Children with PKU need special diets As the child gets older, they will need a diet that is low in phenylalanine. Regular blood tests are needed to monitor the level of phenylalanine in the blood. This special diet is essential during childhood to prevent damage to the brain while it is still growing.
Detailed explanation-3: -PKU is treated with a special diet. Newborn babies who test positive for PKU are placed on phenylalanine-free formula right away. As babies start to eat solid food, their diet will need to be restricted. This is because phenylalanine is found in many foods with protein.
Detailed explanation-4: -Babies are often screened for PKU with a heel-prick test. This is done by getting a few drops of blood from the infant’s heel. A urine test is an alternative to the heel prick. The healthcare provider will collect a sample of your baby’s urine.
