A member asked:
Besides maple syrup urine disease, are there some other causes of urine that smells sweet like syrup?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly diabetes: To my knowledge, uncontrolled diabetes might also cause this, but i would expect the person to also have weight loss, and frequent urination besides just a sweet smell to the urine.
