to skin, oily stools/constipation, respiratory congestion, abdominal pain

● Treatment/Prevention

Phenylketonuria(Emi, Kaitlyn, Taylor)
Also called: PKU
WHAT IS IT?
A birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body.
An inborn error of metabolism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait
Caused by a deficiency or absence of the enzyme needed to metabolize the essential amino acid
phenylalanine
TX: restricting phenylalanine in the diet. Phenylalanine cannot be eliminated from the diet because it is an
essential amino acid in tissue growth.
Dietary management must meet two criteria: 1. Meet the child’s nutritional need for optimum growth 2.
Maintain phenylalanine levels within a safe range(2-6mg/dL)
Infants with blood phenylalanine levels higher than 10mg/dL should be started on treatment to establish
metabolic control as soon as possible
TEST: A PKU screening test is a blood test given to newborns 24–72 hours after birth.
DX: This test involves taking a sample of blood and analyzing it for the presence of the enzyme needed to
break down phenylalanine.
Nursing Considerations:
● Teaching the family regarding the dietary restrictions
● Assess development in child: delayed development, failure to thrive, short stature, or slow growth.
● Assess cognitive development in child: intellectual disability or slowness in activity.
● When collecting the blood specimen for screening, “layering” the blood specimen on the special
paper is placing one drop of blood on top of the paper and avoiding double dipping the blood
drops
