My urine very suddenly turned a cloudy dark brown color. It has persisted without much change for about 48 hours. Originally I thought it was associated with a fruit-flavored slushie I drank shortly before it started, but it isn t clearing up. I have been drinking a lot of water for last couple days. Am I OK waiting a few days to see if it clears up? We are travelling, so my physician is not handy. Thank you.

Some causes of brown urine are *hepatitis or chirosis *hemolytic anemia *some foods as aloe, fava beans,food colouring. *kidney disorders and infections.
