Urologists Dr Bhati Singh Bhoopat of Ruby Hall Clinic and Dr Varun Mittal of Artemis Hospitals highlight persistent foam and dark, brown, red or cloudy urine.
They say thick froth can indicate proteinuria, while reddish or cola-coloured urine may mean blood is leaking through damaged kidney filters; cloudiness can suggest infection or poor filtration.
Because kidneys filter about 150-180 litres of blood daily, repeated urine changes may appear before blood-test abnormalities, making early attention important to prevent later complications.
