Question 1

when do i seek medical attention for tea colored urine lasting 3 days. no fever.  i had a kub and cystology a week ago. no stones seen then.

Accepted Answer

Are you a runner?: Are you a heavy exerciser or runner? If so, when skeletal muscle breaks down it releases a substance called myoglobin. This is excreted in the urine and is called myoglobinuria. It colors the urine a pinkish color. There is a simple test to detect whether or not you are excreting myoglobin. There are many other causes of myoglobinuria, many are serious. I recommend you be tested for this.

Question 2

presents with back pain, not urinating like used to, high bp, headaches, sometimes tea colored urine other time no color at all w/o changing diet/drin?

Accepted Answer

Go to ER: I think this set of symptoms warrants a full work up.  Diagnoses can range from dehydration to hepatitis to pyelonephritis.  Please have patient seen by a doctor right away. High BP and headache alone are sufficient reason to go to ER.

Question 3

my urine is dark and has a strong smell--what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Diet, dehydration: Your diet can significantly affect the  smell of your urine. Dehydration can cause your body to retain fluids so you don't get lightheaded and dizzy and is significantly darkens the color of your urine.
Drink more fluids and see if this resolves the problem.
There is of course other more serious problems they can lead to the above symptoms, see your physician if the problem persists.

Question 4

what could be the reason my urine is dark brown and smells really bad?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: Dark brown urine could be the result of excess bilirubin being excreted which can be a sign of liver disease like hepatitis and cirrhosis.  It can also be a sign of infection or bleeding. Please have it evaluated by a physician.

Question 5

my urine is dark orange, and i have minor pain on the left side of my lower body, what could be the cause? i'm very well hydrated.

Accepted Answer

Maybe blood: Maybe you cold have bold in your urine and if there is blood pain and blood could be coming from a kidney stone.

Question 6

occasionally urinating causes my penis burning pain, and my urine is dark and murky and smells, on these occasions! why?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: It is likely that you are having a urinay tract infection or urethritis (infection of the urethra). It is certainly not normal to have your symptoms. Women get UTI much more frequently, but get them too. Also, i worry about a possibility of a sexually transmitted infection as a cause. So, consult your doc an an evalutation/treatment. Good luck.

Question 7

should my urine sample be tea colour, what are the possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Urine color : If color is very intense it could be related to dehydration. Also if it is more reddish probably it could be related to some blood diluted in it. The best way to tell is be performing a full urinalysis. If you are having symptoms and changes in the quality of you urine you should get cheeks and tested in order to find out what is going on.

Question 8

can excess of tea cause excess of urine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Excess consumption of any liquid will result in excess urine production whether tea, coffee, water, beer etc. What goes in must come out. Almost all fluid intake comes out as urine, the rest as sweat or moisture from your lungs.

Kidney biopsy: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it is imperative that you see a kidney specialist, a nephrologist, to ensure that you protect the remining kidney function.
