Would my liver or gallbladder cause my urine to smell?

NO: Hepatobiliary disease can lead to jaundice, which darkens the urine considerably, even to the color of cola, but is not typically malodorous. Good luck.

Possible: If you have jaundice as a result of a stone blocking your liver, it can affect the smell of your urine.

Routes of excretion.: Hepatobiliary and renal excretion are two major routes for clearance of substances from the body. If there is a hepatobiliary problem such as obstruction, substances may be preferentially cleared from the body via renal excretion. This may alter the smell of your urine.
