Special Needs â San Jose, CA. I have worked with special needs students as a school bus driver for five plus years. I have had many different types of children in my care. I have worked with the elderly over 20 years now, and have taken care of many family members. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and my grandmothers both had cancer.
A strong urine odor can be a sign of liver disease. Other symptoms of liver disease include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, yellow skin or eyes, weakness, bloating, and weight loss. See your doctor right away if you have symptoms of liver disease.

Dehydration causes concentrated urine, therefore the smell is strong as well. This can also be a symptom of some diseases. To be sure, have a urinalysis. Most of the time, bad urine odor is a sign of some kind of UTI. Fruity urine odor is indicative of diabetes.
