Question 7

can an injury from sports give you brown urine?

Accepted Answer

Sign of OverTraining: Exertional rhabdomyolysis - is a rare, but serious complication of too much exercise. It can affect people of any race, age, or fitness level. When it occurs after exercise, it doesn't always require the exercise session to be extreme. It appears that the key factor in many cases is an abrupt increase in the intensity of exercise. The other cause could be delayed-onset muscle soreness (doms).

Question 8

what does brown urine mean and positive leukocytes mean?

Brown urine: The usual cause of brown urine is bile in the urine caused by blockage in the bile ducts in the liver, gall bladder,and common bile duct by stones or growths and seen in some cases of hemolytic anemias.
