Brief Answer:
Possibly due to low water intake

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Dark urine is most often caused by decreased water intake. Try increasing your fluid intake. If the colour becomes normal you need not worry.

Other possible causes include hepatitis but I would not like you to worry about those right from the beginning. I hope that increasing water intake will resolve the issue.

Regards
