Wave velocity, aortic stiffness, and intima media thickness of the common carotid artery will be measured by vicorder and duplex ultrasound scanner in the PKU patients and in the control group. Analyses of phenylalanine metabolites and renal function will be performed only in the PKU patients, analyses of oxidative stress markers in the PKU patients and in the control group. Dietary protocols of the patients with PKU will be calculated for their daily phenylalanine, total protein, and calorie intake. Results of the study will be kept in the medical records and paper case report forms.
