What Causes Smelly Urine In The Old Aged Women?
My 93 year old mother seems to be declining. She has all of a sudden smelly urine. Could that be an indication of kidneys failing. She wears a diaper, has dementia and does not walk . Wheelchair and bed.
She drinks water (not a lot) , doesnt eat much anymore and is very thin.

In old age incontinence of urine is very common. About smelly urine, she would have been suffering from urinary tract infection. When she is so thin tuberculosis of urinary tract should be ruled out. Consult general physician for proper evaluation. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to consult me.
