A dark tea or cola hue in urine most suggests disease of which organ or its drainage?

AThe spleen
BThe pancreas
CThe liver
DThe heart
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The liver
1. Liver disease or obstructed bile drainage sends bile pigments into the urine. 2. These impart a dark tea or cola hue. 3. Bright red urine points instead to bleeding from a stone or cancer, a different clue. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology (CC BY 4.0), Ch 25 "The Urinary System", section Urethra_
