Abstract

The phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) in the liver hydroxylates phenylalanine from the diet. Fetuses depend for the hydroxylation of phenylalanine the maternal metabolism , fetal maturity does not come until week 26. Though the women with PAH deficiency (phenylketonuria, PKU) not adequately hydroxylate phenylalanine diet so their blood levels are high. Fenilalaninemia levels are considered neurotoxic teratogenic and above 360 umol/L (N < 120). Pregnant women should strictly follow PKU dietary treatment and/or drug to maintain levels of fenilalaninemia < 180 umol/L and avoid the teratogenic complications in the fetus (Hyperphenylalaninaemias Maternal Fetal Syndrome), as the case presented. We recommend discarding Phenylketonuria in women who have not been done a neonatal screening and/or have abortions, children with microcephaly, cardiac or renal malformations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 December 2015.
All research outputs
#8,505,726
of 25,988,468 outputs
Outputs from Nutrición Hospitalaria
#42
of 101 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,020
of 252,788 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nutrición Hospitalaria
#6
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,988,468 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 101 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 252,788 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
