    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Phenylketonuria is a rare metabolic disease that results from the absence or near-absence activity of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which metabolizes the amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine in the body. Accumulation of phenylalanine in the brain causes brain damage that leads to mental retardation, neurological complications, and movement disorders. The study is inherited autosomal recessively. The basis of treatment is a low-protein diet with dietary supplements of aminoxlin without phenylalanine and with appropriate substitutes for micro and macronutrients needed for different ages. A low-protein diet regulates the level of phenylalanine in the blood. This is especially important in childhood. In the study, which will basically consist of theoretical, experimental and numerical work, the investigators will limit to a specific population, i.e. to adult patients with phenylketonuria. The research is intended to prove the hypothesis that with proper nutritional treatment of phenylketonuria in adulthood, we can have a positive effect on the patient's well-being, better blood results and improved lifestyle. The investigators intend to test this hypothesis by implementing a complex, multidisciplinary project that will include a comprehensive treatment of adult PKU patients. This will be based on a multidisciplinary approach with the inclusion of medical and nutritional treatment. As part of the project, the investigators, among other things, create questionnaires and analyze food diaries related to the mentioned areas. Using various statistical techniques, the investigators analyze the impact of individual factors on the success of achieving the objectives of the proposed study. The original contribution to science will be the nutritional treatment of adult patients with phenylketonuria in Slovenia and the consequent reduction of health complications in adulthood of patients with phenylketonuria.
    Detailed Description
    Selection and presentation of the problem and formulation of goals Phenylketonuria (PKU) oz. Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) is a rare congenital metabolic disease (PPB) due to a lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PH) activity, which metabolizes the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine in the body. The cause is a disease change in the PAH gene that encodes the enzyme PH. A baby is born healthy, but elevated Phe levels without proper treatment cause central nervous system damage and permanent mental retardation in the first months after birth. The disease is the first PPB to be detected by medicine with neonatal screening tests and also successfully treated with dietary treatment that excludes foods with a higher Phe content from the diet. In Slovenia, the screening test was introduced in 1979 and with a calculated incidence of PKU 1/6769 in Slovenia (Šmon et al., 2015), there are approximately 150 patients with PKU in the Slovenian registry, of which more than half are over 18 years of age. Nutritional treatment is an important part of PKU treatment and should be performed for life according to modern guidelines (Cazzorla et al., 2018). Dietary treatment of PKU is one of the strictest diets, where almost all foods containing protein are excluded from the food, ie all diets of animal origin (meat, milk and all dairy products, eggs) as well as all cereals, legumes and nuts. Patients consume only limited amounts of fruits and vegetables and special products with a removed protein content. They compensate for the protein deficiency with special Phe-free protein substitutes. Adult patients with PKU often do not reach the recommended levels of Phe in the blood (Green et al., 2019), as the consequences of abandoning the diet in adulthood are not as obvious and disturbing. By abandoning the diet, however, they also abandon follow-up in a specialist PPB clinic, and according to studies, more than 70% of adult patients with PKU (study in America) are no longer managed in metabolic clinics (Berry et al., 2013). Successful disease management often requires a lifelong diet that provides an appropriately limited daily intake of Phe for growth and body regeneration with a small portion of essential amino acids, vitamins, and natural food elements, and the remaining missing portion of these dietary sources is added in the form of protein-fortified protein. , which does not contain the amino acid Phe (MacLeod et al., 2009). Phe tolerance (mg Phe / kg body weight / day) is the amount of Phe that PKU patients can consume daily while maintaining recommended blood Phe levels. An individual assessment is required due to the very diverse level of Phe hydroxylase enzyme activity still present (MacLeod et al., 2009). The measure of dietary success is an adequate value of serum Phe and the latest European recommendations in adulthood are between 120 - 600 μmol / L (van Spronsen et al., 2017; van Wegberg et al., 2017). Research in recent years has shown significantly higher morbidity and health risk in adult patients with PKU. Part of the health problems are also more present in patients who continue dietary treatment, and there are even more problems in untreated patients (Burton et al., 2018). Increased health risks have already been described, including the following medical conditions: Increased cardiovascular risk and increased atherogenic indicators (Azabdaftari et al., 2019) Higher body mass index (Robertson et al., 2013) The impact of disease and diet on bone density (Hansen et al., 2014) Nutritional deficits (Okano et al., 2016, Moseley et al., 2002) Higher proportion of brain dysfunction (Hoedt et al., 2012) Gastrointestinal dysbiosis (Verduci et al., 2020) Increased general comorbidity (Burton et al., 2018) All these increased risks mean that this group of patients needs regular medical monitoring even in adulthood. It is known that a proportion of patients relax their diet and thus their Phe intake, but maintain a self-limiting diet with a low protein intake while not consuming a protein substitute (Das et al., 2014). Adequate daily protein intake is important as it ensures proper body protein synthesis and prevents catabolism (MacLeod et al., 2009). The purpose of the research Primary goal: Use a questionnaire in patients to assess the differences between the group of patients on dietary treatment and the group of patients who discontinued treatment: demographic characteristics (gender, age, education, source of income, marital status), comorbidities or treatments, smoking , sleep disorders, self - assessment of physical activity, self - assessment of health. To determine the effectiveness of the dietary intervention of individual nutrition counseling for reduced Phe intake in the blood and the balance of nutrients and elements in the diet by assessing the following indicators, before and after 6 months of intervention: quantitative reduction of Phe consumption in the diet and adequacy of Phe amino acid preparation with the addition of vitamins and elements, which will be assessed by measurements in the blood: Phe, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, methylmalonic acid in urine Compliance assessment with analysis of food diaries (at the first examination and after 6 months) Secondary objectives are: Comparison of assessment of risk factors for atherogenesis between patients considering dietary treatment and among patients without dietary treatment with ultrasound of the jugular veins to assess the thickness of the carotid intima media and assessment of oxidative stress in the urine sample and body composition at the start of the study Assessment of risk factors for atherogenesis before and after dietary intervention Determine the change in body mass index, waist circumference before and after the intervention, blood pressure Identify the change of selected laboratory atherogenic biomarkers (total lipidogram, Lp (a), homocysteine, CRP low, Il-6, TNF alpha, blood sugar, insulin) Presentation of methods The investigators will invite approximately 50 adult patients with PKU who were or are still being managed in the PPB clinic of the Pediatric Clinic of the University Medical Center Ljubljana. It is estimated that half of the patients still fully or at least partially follow the dietary treatment, while half have abandoned the treatment and mostly no longer come for outpatient examinations. The research will be conducted prospectively. Institution where the research will be conducted: Clinical Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, Pediatric Clinic, University Medical Center Ljubljana, Bohoričeva 20, 1000 Ljubljana Nutritional analyzes and interventional dietary counseling will be performed simultaneously with the regular medical control outpatient examination before the nutritional intervention and the analysis will be repeated after 6 months. INTRODUCTORY REVIEW: Ultrasound of the jugular veins to assess the thickness of the carotid intima media as a non-invasive biomarker of atherosclerosis (cIMT) will be performed by a specialist as a regular existing examination method during outpatient examination of the patient (non-invasive ultrasound probe MyLab Gamma with QIMT® software according to the manufacturer's instructions). The first inspection will also include: Completion of a questionnaire (Physical Activity Questionnaire (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), Sleep Questionnaire (Insomnia Severity Questionnaire (ISI)), performing anthropometric measurements (body weight (kg), body height (cm), waist circumference (cm)) (validated scales, stadiometer, prescribed waist circumference measurement procedure) measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) and resting pulse, nutrition analysis (by completing nutrition diaries and / or an interview at the examination) taking a blood sample taking a urine sample body composition measurement - BIA OGTT testing Nutrition analysis and interventional nutrition counseling will include: Definition of diet To define the diet (energy and nutrient intake), the investigators use the diet diary (PD) of the patient's diet for three days (3 x 24 hours (I .: 0 months = before the 1st examination; PD 0)) and 3 x 24 hours, where patients food diary will be carefully reviewed by a dietitian and will be entered into the Prodi® program for further processing and calculation of detailed energy and nutrient intake. preparation of menus, composition of individual recipes and calculation of nutrient and energy intake. Subjects will receive one hour of nutritional counseling in a diet counseling center by a clinical dietitian. Nutritional counseling will be based on the nutritional assessment of the patient's condition and the direction of improvement - the development of a diet plan. The dietitian will make a motivational phone call each month. Written instructions will be given to the examinees. REVIEW AFTER 6 MONTHS: The inspection will include: filling in the sleep disorder questionnaire, self-assessment of physical activity, self-assessment of health performing anthropometric measurements (body weight (kg), body height (cm), waist circumference (cm)) (use of a validated balance, stadiometer, prescribed waist circumference measurement procedure) measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), nutrition analysis (by completing nutrition diaries and screening interviews) taking a blood sample taking a urine sample body measurement
