Maple syrup urine disease

Japanese: 楓糖尿症 - かえでとうにょうしょう(英語表記)maple syrup urine disease
Maple syrup urine disease
A genetic metabolic disorder of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine), a type of ketonuria. The condition begins a few days after birth. These amino acids and the ketone bodies derived from them are excreted in the urine, causing symptoms such as acidosis, convulsions, and coma, leading to death. The disease was named after the characteristic maple syrup-like odor of the urine. Congenital metabolic disorder [Ryōmasa Nakamura]
