Amino Acid Medical Foods Provide a High Dietary Acid Load and Increase Urinary Excretion of Renal Net Acid, Calcium, and Magnesium Compared with Glycomacropeptide Medical Foods in Phenylketonuria

<div>Potential renal acid load was calculated for 10 different AA-MF and 3 different GMP-MF, based on mineral and amino acid analysis,<i> n</i> = 2-3 per medical food. AA-MF, amino acid medical foods; GMP-MF, glycomacropeptide medical foods; PRAL, potential renal acid load; PE, protein equivalent.</div>
