What Causes Smelly Urine And Pain In Kidneys?
My husband has foul smelling urine. In his terms, it smells like rot. He has recently been recovering from a B.Suis brucellosis infection that he had for 6 years. They treated it with Gentamicin which damaged his kidneys and inner ear. His GFR was 42 in November, 75 in December and 77 this week. But suddenly his kidneys hurt, and his urine smells. The local doctor (family practice) said we should not be alarmed and to simply increase his fluid intake. What are your thoughts?

Dear User,
in biology, thus medicine is included, bad smell is always a bad sign. Your husband should perform a urinalysis and urine culture to exclude an infection. It is very very likely according with your story. Let me know,
