A member asked:

Hi doctor, my urine sometimes smells like the food i ate, i was told i have uti, they also tested my createnine, does my kidneys failed?

Some foods or drinks contain material that will yield odor in urine naturally. Asparagus is a common vegetable that triggers a noticeable urine smell. The symptom by itself is normal. No reasoned comment about your kidney function can be made without knowing your test results. You are welcome to start over and post them.

Thank

certain foods eg asparagus. onion, garlic can make urine smell of them, also lack of fluid intake. UTI is diagnosed by exam and urine tests. If your kidneys were bad your doc would have told you. Good luck
