Meaning: There may be a violation of bile flow, liver function problems, or advanced liver disease, which can also be seen in liver cancer.
Dark urine
Cause: When the liver is damaged, bilirubin (a yellow pigment normally processed by the liver) begins to build up in the blood. The kidneys attempt to eliminate this excess, resulting in dark brown or tea-colored urine.
Appearance: Urine is noticeably darker than normal, even with good hydration. It may resemble cola or strong black tea.
Meaning: This is a sign of jaundice, which occurs when liver function is severely impaired—a common symptom of liver cancer or other serious liver diseases.
⚠️ Important note: Although these signs may be associated with liver cancer, they can also occur with other liver or gallbladder diseases (such as hepatitis or gallstones). Individually, these symptoms do not prove the presence of cancer, but they are serious enough to require immediate medical attention.
