The management of phenylketonuria in adult patients in Italy: a survey of six specialist metabolic centers.

Conclusion: A homogeneous and shared approach to the management of PKU patients is important. Our survey demonstrates the current management of PKU in Italy, with the aim of promoting the implementation of therapeutic strategies and follow-up, increased patient compliance and adherence, and the achievement of the phenylalanine level targets recommended by European Union guidelines. Emerging therapies are likely to become a standard treatment for patients unable to comply with diet therapy and maintain their phenylalanine levels below the threshold values.
