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>Urinary calcium and renal net acid excretion were positively correlated (<i>r</i> = 0.57,<i> p </i>= 0.03) with AA-MF and GMP-MF,<i> n</i> = 14 from 7 participants. One participant was omitted, due to use of a therapeutic dose of calcium to treat low BMD-for-age. AA-MF, amino acid medical foods; BMD, bone mineral density; GMP-MF, glycomacropeptide medical foods; RNAE, renal net acid excretion.</div>
