No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a study to determine if a simplified protein counting system, including the free usage of fruits and vegetables low in phenylalanine, will improve the metabolic control in teens and adults with phenylketonuria (PKU).

Anybody with a positive diagnosis of PKU, between the ages of 13-65 years will be invited to participate in this study.

Subjects will be educated on the simplified system upon enrollment, and historical phenylalanine (Phe) levels will be used for comparison. Subjects will also be asked about their attitudes towards their current Phe counting system.
