8) Foul-smelling urine
We have already discussed pus in the urine as one of the symptoms in kidney infections. This is one of the factors that contribute to developing foul-smelling urine. Plus, the urine becomes concentrated and with a strong smell. As the infection becomes worse, it is common to experience an especially distinctive smell. This is one of the earliest symptoms of a kidney infection, it is also common in a bladder infection, and it is easily mistaken with other health conditions. For instance, a strong smell in the urine might be the result of not drinking enough water throughout the day, and your doctor will need a urine test to see whether or not you have a urinary tract infection.
