A member asked:

Can it be normal to have brown urine once this as only occured once?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Of course: I'm betting you exercised really hard & had some rhabdomyolysis. Always drink plenty of water when you exercise & hopefully this will never make you really sick. The brown in your urine is myoglobin.
