      Hi no not really, urine is urine, is doesn’t really change over time. It can change or differ from person to person, usualy because of something they have been eating or drinking or possibly if they have an infection.

      Asparagus can make your wee smell funny. Beetroot make it look red. And carrots can give it an orange tint. If you haven’t been drinking very much then your body will hold onto your urine, it needs water to function, and if you’re a bit dehydrated the kidneys are not going to be happy about having it piddled away! And when you do piddle it might look thick and dark.
