Does dark urine mean kidney infection?

I noticed that my urine is dark. Does dark urine mean kidney infection?

1 Answer

Urine infection can alter the color of urine. But dark urine does not necessarily mean infection. It could be dehydration, could be muscle injury, blood in urine, liver injury, or related to some pigment ingestion in food. You could submit your urine for urine analysis to see if there are any clues.
