Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of phenylalanine metabolism caused by deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. MAIN BODY:In 2017 the first European PKU Guidelines were published. These guidelines contained evidence based and/or expert opinion recommendations regarding diagnosis, treatment and care for patients with PKU of all ages. This manuscript is a supplement containing the practical application of the dietary treatment. CONCLUSION:This handbook can support dietitians, nutritionists and physicians in starting, adjusting and maintaining dietary treatment.
