Dark colored urine that sink to the bottom in the toilet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urine is denser than: plain water (essentially "heavier") and in theory could sink to the bottom of the toilet. Other factors including dehydration, crystals in urine, dissolved "salts" (eg, sodium) may affect the density of urine. Urine is darker if you're dehydrated or have jaundice or blood in the urine. If this occurs repeatedly or if you have other symptoms, please see a doctor. Dr. Anne.
