AOUI Verona
Area of expertise and the Healthcare Provider’s contribution to care for patients within the MetabERN Network
Verona Health Care Provider has focused, in the last decades, its effort to diagnose, follow up and now treat, children and adults affected with inherited metabolic disorders, especially lysosomal storage disorders.
Recently, the Regional Expanded Newborn Screening Program chose Verona as Referral Centre for diagnosis and treatment of Aminoacid Disorders, Urea Cycle Disorders and Organic Acidurias.
The GIMME (Interdisciplinary Group for Inherited Metabolic Disorders) allows a multidisciplinary approach to children and adults affected with such diseases: adult and child physicians monthly join together and share their knowledge and experiences.
