Happy International PKU Day! #IPKUDAY2025 ๐๐ Let's celebrate what we have. However PKU is not a solved problem. All European countries have gaps in care that need improvement. I recommend @espku.org
campaign #shadesofpku to see how life with PKU looks like in Europe.

#IPKUDAY2025 #shadesofpku highlights crucial PKU healthcare transition. EU Guidelines Rec. 25 demands specialized adult care. This #pkuunmetmedicalneed means planned, patient-collaborative transitions are key to avoid lost follow-up. We urge adherence for patient quality of life.
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.
On this day of #shadesofpku campaign leading to #IPKUDAY2025 we shine a light on unequal access to pharmaceutical treatments options. This is frustrating for patients.

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?
One phone call, one diagnosis, and suddenly, the healthy child you just brought home from the hospital is facing a lifelong battle with a rare genetic disorder. Read Iza's story when her son was diagnosed with PKU. #shadesofpku #IPKUDAY2025

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.
Day 1 of #shadesofpku: Newborn Screening! ๐ถ๐ฌ Robert Guthrie developed the first #PKU blood test in 1960. Early detection prevents disability & saves costs. Not all European countries screen for PKU-this is an #pkuunmetmedicalneed. Screen all! Screen refugees up to age 6. #IPKUDAY2025
๐ขOn June 1st, 2025 on the occasion of #IPKUDAY2025 we'll launch of 'Shades of PKU' campaign! It'll show all shades of living with PKU + unmet needs of patients with PKU. #shadesofpku
