Keep in mind<\/h2>\n

Unmanaged PKU affects the way you think, feel, and act.<\/strong>
\nHigh or unstable blood Phe levels can damage the brain and make many aspects of everyday life more difficult, including building relationships, planning for an event or trip and completing tasks at home, work, or school.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
