What are the side effects of the treatments?
Side effects of treatment depend on the enzyme defect being treated.
What happens after treatment for the disease?
Treatment may need to continue as long as the enzyme defect continues.
How is the disease monitored?
Most inborn errors of metabolism are monitored by routine blood or urine tests.
