The resultant urine will thus end up looking like a dark carbonated beverage. If you see dark brown colored urine in the toilet, you should immediately visit your doctor.

Your kidneys filter your blood to collect waste materials which are then let out of the body in the form of urine. Sometimes, protein from the blood may leak into urine and cause a foamy or frothy texture to appear in the toilet.

However, it is not necessary that a foul smell has to be present in case of UTI or bladder infection. If you have foul smelling urine for some time, then it is best to visit a doctor for further tests and analysis.
Your urine is normal only if it is absolutely colorless.
5 of 5
If your urine is totally colorless, it means you re overhydrated. This could be a signal that you are consuming too much fluid either in the form of plain water or other drinks. You may need to cut back on the total fluids you are consuming every day. If you are not over consuming fluids, then clear urine may also be an indicator for kidney disease and you may need to go to a doctor to get it checked.
