Brief Answer:
Drink about 8-10 glasses fluids daily.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.

You should know that an adult needs,about 8-10 glasses of fluids daily.
If you drink less than that,urine will be concentrated and may have a smell.
If you drink more fluids,it'll be lighter in color with less odor.

If you've urgency in passing urine,it could be due to urinary infection ( UTI ).
To know if you've an UTI, get an urine culture test done.

Is there any possibility it could be liver or kidney disease? If so what other symptoms would I have?

Brief Answer:
Both organs have specific symptoms which vary in each person.

Detailed Answer:

Hi XXXXXXX

There're tests for each individual organ function.

The test to do for kidney function are :
1. urine routine,culture and ACR.
2. blood routine, urea,crearinine,uric acid and electrolytes.

The tests to check liver function are mainly :
1. blood LFT.

Depending on symptoms affecting you,specific tests are advised.
An ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis is needed to assess both the organs.

Wish you good health.
