Expert Explains Symptoms of Kidney and Liver Failure

A person asked online about dark brown urine, thinking it might mean their kidneys are failing.

A doctor explained that dark urine can be scary, but kidney and liver problems usually have other symptoms too.

For kidneys, you might see swelling in your body, feel tired, or not want to eat.

For the liver, your skin or eyes might turn yellow, your stomach could swell, and you might feel very tired all the time.

So, if you see dark urine, don't panic right away.

Look for other signs and talk to a doctor.
