PHENYLKETONURIA: TREATMENT BY AN INTEGRATED MULTISPECIALTY TEAM

Course overview

The lifelong treatment regimen for phenylketonuria (PKU) is complex because it requires constant evaluation and individualized adjustment for therapy to prevent central nervous system damage. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of PKU treatment by an integrated multispecialty team, including evidence-based information on the need for lifelong evaluation and adjustment of PKU treatment and patient adherence to treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
