28th June and I’m thinking today of the massive advances made in the treatment of PKU in Ireland over the last 50+ years. But also I’m thinking of those parts of the world where people are unable to access proper treatment and are without automatic screening at birth.

We're amplifying the call for more research on adults with PKU! Their experiences and health status need to be better understood.

As part of our #shadesofpku campaign for #IPKUDAY2025, we're raising #adultpkuawareness. Let's push for studies that truly reflect adult life with PKU.

Today during #shadesofpku organised on the occasion of #IPKUDAY2025 we highlight the need for new doctors to choose #PKU as their career path. It offers research possibilities, opportunity to shape standards of care and being a leader in a care for patients with a rare disease.

Mr Tobias Hagedorn,
@official_espku
Secretary, raised a point that the word 'diet' doesn't fully present what the therapy for PKU is. He suggested that we should use 'nutritional therapy.' On the 3rd day of the #shadesofpku campaign for #IPKUDAY2025 we ask you what do you think?

Day 2 of #shadesofpku for #IPKUDAY2025: A PKU diagnosis deeply impacts parents & siblings. Parents face anxiety; siblings' needs are often missed. Much inaccurate PKU info online! Act to correct it! Patient groups offer crucial support. All family members need psychological care.
