Advertisements

Changes in urine color and smell can be indicative of kidney issues. Dark or brown-colored urine, strong-smelling urine, or cloudy urine may be signs that the kidneys are not filtering waste and toxins effectively. These changes can be caused by dehydration, kidney infections, kidney stones, or more severe kidney problems.
