Dark urine can be a sign of various things, some of which are:

* Dehydration * urinary tract infection * Blood in the urine * Kidney disorder * Use of Medications that can discolor urine * Consumption of Foods that can darken it (such as beets, asparagus, and spinach)

Any time there is a change from the normal color of urine, it is a good idea to contact a medical professional, especially if there is pain, burning, frequency or urgency with urination. Until speaking to the health care provider, try drinking more water (or cranberry juice if juices are a normal part of the diet), check your temperature to see if there is any fever, and notice if there is any strong odor along with the color change to report to the health provider.
