Phenylketonuria (PKU) treatment typically involves a lifelong adherence to a low-phenylalanine diet and, in some cases, supplementation with amino acids. While some individuals may experience a reduction in dietary restrictions in adulthood, stopping treatment entirely is generally not recommended, as it can lead to neurodevelopmental issues and cognitive decline. It is essential for individuals with PKU to consult with healthcare professionals before making any changes to their treatment plan. Regular monitoring of phenylalanine levels is crucial to ensure health is maintained.
