This guide covers the essentials of Phenylketonuria (PKU), starting with its definition and clinical recognition in pediatrics, including the biochemistry of phenylalanine and tyrosine, and the role of newborn screening. It then addresses nutritional management by establishing age-specific blood Phe targets and creating a low-Phe diet plan, alongside case-based monitoring. Finally, it explores medication options, comparing sapropterin and sepiapterin, detailing pegvaliase dosing and safety,...
