What Causes Passing Of Dark Urination And Strong Odor?
My 8 year old daughter has VERY strong smelling and dark urine. She has a hard time even making it to the bathroom in time. She doesn t drink after 7pm, goes to the bathroom before bed, wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and in the morning she can barley make it to the bathroom. She has a weight issue, but eats very healthy and is an active child. What could be causing this?

the most common cause of these symptoms is urinary tract infection , usually it's lower and it's not associated with fever
the first thing to do is urine analysis and culture and using the appropriate antibiotic
if it came negative then you need to chart the amount of urine that your daughter makes during 1 day . and contact her pediatrician
