Why does my pee smell like chicken soup?
OK, just kidding! I have no idea... but I know our bodies do some weird stuff, that's for sure! Sometimes when I pee, I think I have been transported to Starbucks. And then I have to think, "hmmm, maybe that's not such a good thing that I'm peeing coffee!"

Ok, so I know this was posted a long time ago. I have a lot of medical background and entirely too much medical history.
And I'm currently dealing with the same situation. After a thorough workup at the ER and UC, mine is due to a combo of dehydration and malnutrition. I just had surgery and am currently on a liquid diet (grr, boo, hiss) losing weight entirely too quickly which isn't healthy. Definitely proteinuria (protein in the urine); nothing wrong with any of my organs; always have low blood pressure, exercise regularly, and drink plenty of water - up till now, due to the type of surgery. Again, grr, boo, hiss. So, if anyone is still wondering about this really weird smell and doesn't have other underlying symptoms, that's what it could be. But always, if you have any suspicious issues when your body isn't acting "normally," please ask a doc! Research on the web can only do so much - often scare people half to death by putting too many ideas in their heads that they're about ready to die, when all they really have is the common cold. But all too often, there are ones who go the complete opposite direction and don't want to deal with any of the potential problems and then end up having serious complications. So just ask!!! Doctors are there for a reason! Hope this can help someone in the future.
