5. Changes in urine color
If the liver and other organs within the body are functioning properly and you are drinking enough fluids, your urine should be extremely pale yellow in color or completely clear. However, if you notice that your urine seems to be unusually dark, the liver disease could be to blame. When the liver is damaged, it can’t properly metabolize bilirubin, a pile pigment that is yellow in color.
As a result, the bilirubin remains in the body and exits through the kidneys, and as it does, urine can be tinged with a dark yellow or almost brown color. There are several other factors that can lead to changes in the color of your urine, such as certain foods, dehydration, deficiencies in certain enzymes, gallstones, and even certain medications. However, if you find that your urine appears darker than normal, it is in your best interest to see a doctor.
