BLOOD SPOTS FOR PHE MONITORING
DRIED BLOOD SPOTS
Providing dried blood spots for Phenylalanine (phe) monitoring is essential in PKU, as this enables your dietitian to check your child’s phe levels are within a target range and make any amendments needed to their diet. Your dietitian will advise you on how often blood spots need to be provided for testing.
WHAT ARE BLOOD SPOT SAMPLES?
