Is Chlorine Smell In Urine A Cause For Concern?

My urine has the odor of chlorine. The urine tests and sonograms come back normal with the exception of calcium deposits, which were not a concern. I am on Prednisone and several other medications for emphysema. I am 70 and cannot figure out what the odor is from, it is very embarrassing. Could it be anything to do with my liver or is it the meds? Thank you, Peggy
