Emma focused on the dietary management of Homocystinuria (HCU) during pregnancy, providing essential insights into managing HCU effectively.
The webinar begins with an overview of HCU and its dietary implications, followed by a discussion on the specific dietary needs of pregnant individuals with HCU. Key nutritional issues in HCU pregnancies are outlined and strategies for effective management are explored.
Two case studies were presented: one on a singular HCU pregnancy and another on a twin HCU pregnancy, illustrating the challenges and nutritional requirements in both scenarios.
The session highlighted how the MDT collaborated to ensure optimal care for maternal HCU.
