A member asked:

I was wondering does dark colored urine means worsening of the liver function?

Dr. Axel Martinez-Irizarry answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Not necessarily.: Urinalysis will determine if there is an abnormality with the urine. Dark colored urine can range from drinking low amounts of fluids, having blood in it, having bilirubin in it, or others, none of which is specific for liver function.
