A member asked:

What could persistent metallic taste in mouth and dark colored urine be symptoms of?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Kidney/liver/blood: Could be symptoms of many things. Blood disorders, liver problems, or kidney problems are the first things that come to mind. You may want to see a doctor asap because this sounds pretty serious.

Need lab tests: You need to see a physician. This could be liver/kidney function. Can also be signs of type 2 diabetes.
