Why does urine taste like black tea?

If your urine resembles black tea, you first need to determine if there is anything special in your recent diet that may cause your urine to turn red. Eating red dragon fruit, watermelon, etc. may cause your urine to turn red. Excluding these reasons, red urine may be a problem of urinary tract infection. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for kidney and urinary tract examination. There are many causes of hematuria, and diagnosis is extremely complex.

1. If the urine turns red, it is mostly because there are red blood cells in the urine, which is medically called hematuria. The causes of hematuria are very complicated. There are hundreds of diseases that can cause hematuria, and it is not easy to diagnose correctly.

① If hematuria is accompanied by nose bleeding, bleeding gums, and skin bleeding, this may be due to a systemic bleeding disease, such as thrombocytopenia, allergic purpura, hemophilia, or even leukemia. Hematuria is just a manifestation of systemic bleeding.

②If hematuria is accompanied by fever, joint swelling and pain, skin lesions, and multiple organ damage, it may be a connective tissue disease (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, nodular arteritis, etc.).

③If hematuria is accompanied by hypertension, edema, and proteinuria, it is mostly glomerulonephritis.

④ If hematuria is accompanied by dull pain in the waist and abdomen, urgency, frequency, and pain when urinating, it is mostly urinary tract infection or tuberculosis.

⑤ If hematuria is accompanied by distension and pain in the lower back or abdominal cramps on one side, kidney or ureteral stones are most likely the cause. Especially if the patient is in so much pain that he cannot turn around in bed, it is most likely ureteral stones.

⑥ If hematuria is accompanied by difficulty, strain, and dripping of urine, in elderly men, it is mostly due to prostate hypertrophy, while in middle-aged men, urethral stenosis, urethral stones, or bladder tumors should be considered.

1. When eating carrots, taking riboflavin, furazolidone, mefenamic acid, rhubarb and other Chinese and Western medicines, the urine may turn yellow. Once you stop taking the medicine, the yellow color will disappear immediately, so there is no need to worry.

2. For patients with common fever or vomiting and diarrhea symptoms, the urine will be concentrated and reduced because water is excreted with sweat or feces, but the urine pigment will not change, so the color of the urine will appear very yellow.

3. If it tastes like strong tea, there may be something wrong with the liver or scrotum. There are usually two ways for bile to be discharged: one is through urine and the other is through the intestines. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, the bile's path to the intestines is cut off and it can only be excreted in the urine. The urine also becomes dark yellow due to the increased bile content. In the early stages of hepatitis, before jaundice appears, we often see that the color of urine is like strong tea, which is often a sign of hepatitis.

4. If the urine is yellow and turbid, it is a sign of suppuration of the urinary organs.

Suggestions:

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a liver and gallbladder examination, such as liver function, hepatitis B five items, etc., as well as a male urinary system examination, so as to avoid many hidden diseases not being discovered in time and delaying the best time for treatment.

1. Colorless. If it is not drinking too much water, it may be a sign of diabetes, chronic interstitial nephritis, or diabetes insipidus.

2. White. White urine is common in purulent urine, chyluria and salt urine.

3. Yellow. For patients with common fever or vomiting and diarrhea symptoms, the urine will become concentrated and reduced because water is excreted with sweat or feces, but the urine pigment does not change, so the color of the urine will appear very yellow.

4. Strong tea color. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, the bile's path to the intestines is cut off and it can only be excreted in the urine. The urine also becomes dark yellow due to the increased bile content. In the early stages of hepatitis, jaundice has not yet appeared and the color of urine can often be seen to be like strong tea, which is often a sign of hepatitis.

5. Green urine. It occurs when Pseudomonas aeruginosa grows in the urine, or when bilirubinuria is left for too long and oxidized into biliverdin.

6. Brown urine (similar to the color of soy sauce). It can be seen in acute nephritis, acute icteric hepatitis, renal crush injury, extensive burns, hemolytic anemia, wrong blood transfusion, and even after strenuous exercise, the urine may be similar to soy sauce color.

7. Red urine. When urine turns red, it usually means there are red blood cells in the urine, which is medically called hematuria. The causes of hematuria are very complex. If you experience any discomfort, you should seek medical attention immediately
