Question 1

s urea is 18 mg/l. no albumin/rbc in urine. frequent dark urine. should i see a nephrologist if creatinine raises from 1 to 1.27 in just 3 months?

Accepted Answer

No: With normal BUN, creatinine, and urinalysis, be thankful for good health. Creatinine varies some from day to day. When I was lifting weights every day, my creatinine ran 1.6-1.8 and that reflected my muscle mass -- a GOOD thing. I am MUCH more concerned about your elevated SGPT; you're getting it worked up, right? Forget about the other labs.

Question 2

i have very dark urine in morning, like dark brown, brown, like tea or more. my alt is 54, alp 128, albumin 48, total bilirubin 8, creatinine 108, urea 6.02, hep b, c negative many times tested, extended liver profile negative as well. cause?

Accepted Answer

: The information provided makes a liver condition to account for  tea colored urine very unlikely.  Hemolytic disease is more likely the cause.  Needs more information, e.g. fractionation of bilirubin, reticulocyte count, etc.

Question 3

i have a constant minty taste in my mouth. i have diabetes, t2. i've also had high sugars and dark urine along with back pain recently. ?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

drink 2 litres a day but have amber/ orangey urine in morning. goes clear/ light after drinking water. would jaundice cause dark urine all the time?

Accepted Answer

Dark urine: Fi you drink a lot of water in the daytime and very little late evening or before you go to bed, you may have dark urine in the morning. The fact that it clears up when you drink water, is suggestive that you do not have jaundice. If you are concerned however, talk to your doctor.

Be seen: Dark urine and pain can be an indication of a kidney stone.  Be seen for a diagnosis.

It is one cause: It can also be a sign that other issues are involved, like kidney disease or damage, liver disease, etc. It all depends on what is found in the urine.
