What is used as a indicator organism?

No. They come from two different places in the body. Chemical waste and excess water in the body is extracted by the kidneys and leaves the body as urine.

Now, it is possible for the water to be pulled out of the feces and be used by the body and released as urine. However, that makes the feces harder and leads to fecal impaction.
