Question:

What does it mean when your urine has a strong odor?

Tried drinking lots of water everyday, but it still has a strong smell. Don't know what it could be.


Answers:

Could be cystitis or just something you ate.

Abnormal urine odor may also indicate:

Hepatic (liver) failure
Ketonuria
Maple sugar urine disease (very rare)
Phenylketonuria (rare)
Rectal fistula
Urinary tract infection

****Special considerations

When urine sits at room temperature, some of the chemicals in the urine may break down and cause an ammonia-like odor.

Asparagus produces a characteristic odor in the urine.
