Hi Hallie,

Thank you for explaining what the tea-colored urine means. I had searched online but couldnt find anything other than dehydration. This is happening to my dear friend (my husband is another story).
My friend told me the urine was this dark because of dehydration so I said drink more water. But I realize after reading what you wrote, it is definitely the liver.

Im just wondering how long a person has to live after they've had kidney/liver failure, he nearly died a few years ago and jaundice (I was not in contact with him then), with ascities filling the abdominal cavity and now he has peripheral neuropathy.

I was just wondering how long someone can live like this with the urine that color and if that means its end stage. I just want to prepare myself..as he and his family were very close to me years ago.
