Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A variety of things can change the way urine smells. Some conditions that cause a bad odor in urine are harmless and the smell is temporary. Other times, a foul smell to urine indicates a medical problem. Recognizing the causes of foul urine smells is important so that proper medical treatments can begin.
The most common causes could be
Dehydration resulting in concentrated urine
Urinary Tract Infection
Certain foods like onion and asparagus
Liver Failure
Uncontrolled diabetes can result in diabetic ketoacidosis causing ketones to spill in urine
The mucus in the feces can also be related to liver problem as it leads to improper food digestion. Both the symptoms in your case are likely to be due to liver damage. But it is best to get your urine sample evaluated for any infection or other causes.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
