The baby may seem to be normal at birth; however, with in a couple of days the symptoms begin to appear. The symptoms are loss of appetite, fussiness, and sweet smelling urine. If untreated the baby will have some severe seizures, go into a coma, and after all of that the baby will die within the next couple of days.
 * Symptoms: **


 * Diagnosis: **

In some states all babies are screened for Maple Syrup Urine Disease within the first 24 hours of life. A blood sample is taken from his/her heel, then it is analyzed for high leucine levels.


 * Treatment: **

This disease is treated very early in life to prevent brain damage. As the person grows older they must watch their diet. You must avoid high protein foods such as fish and chicken, and any types of nuts. If the levels of amino acids are to high, patients can be treated with an intravenous solution that helps the body use up excess leucine, isoleucine, and valine for protein synthesis
