Question

I am in 4th stage renal failure and have a foul musky odor to my urine. ?

Answer 1

You should see your nephrologist.  Also, symptoms of an acute UTI include burning and pain with urination, frequent urination, and suprapubic or lower abdominal discomfort. The urine may also have a foul odor and be darkly colored. Chronic UTIs are usually asymptomatic except for persistent bacteruria.  Get a urinalysis.

Answer 2

GO TO THE ER!

Answer 3

I am not a MD, but hopefully you have the chance to discuss this with him.

Answer 4

Poor you, it's a terrible thing to have to endure. I think that smell is normal - the breath takes on a smell too doesn't it?  I wouldn't panic, but definitely mention it to your doctor asap.

Answer 5

The smell indicates that you have a high level of toxins and waste products in  your blood and system. You should seek medical help without delay as depending on the cause it could be serious.

Please seek medical advice NOW.
