What would be the cause of strong odored urine

Not Medical Advice:

Strong urine odor causes that require medical treatment:

• Urinary tract infection (foul-smelling urine)
  Diabetes (sweet-smelling urine)
  Urinary stones (ammonia-like smell)
  Liver failure
  

Strong urine odor causes that are not usually harmful:

• Diet (sulfur-like smell from eating asparagus, coffee)
  Vitamin B-6 supplements
  Dehydration
  Concentration (urine held in the body over night)
  

To prevent dehydration, try to drink at least eight glasses of water each day and reduce your consumption of coffee and tea. Urine should be clear or pale in color.

Only 22 to 50% of the population say they have unusually smelly urine after eating asparagus. Researchers say those who report normal smelling urine are either unable to smell it or digest the vegetable in a way that doesn't produce the smell.

Of interest, a recent study performed by researchers in Israel suggests that those with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease later in life compared to those who are not diabetic.
