Patient's question:
The baby's urine has a pungent smell, especially at night, when the smell is particularly strong.Doctor's answer:
It should be noted to exclude diseases such as urinary tract infection and phenylketonuria. Phenylketonuria is characterized by intellectual disability, neurological symptoms, eczema, skin scratch marks, loss of pigmentation, and a mouse-like odor in the urine. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician for urinalysis and phenylalanine measurement in the blood to assist in excluding related diseases.
