Dark Urine

Another thing that happens as a result of bilirubin build up in the body is dark urine. The other reason that liver damage can cause dark urine is the reddish pigment developed of red blood cell breakdown. Once the liver has become damaged, it can no longer properly remove bilirubin and other waste products from the body. This will cause a backup that can change the color of urine.

If you notice that your urine is darker than usual, be sure to rule out dehydration, gallstones, infections, high blood sugar, and other causes first. Note if you have other side effects that are present on this list.
