What Causes Repugnant Odor In Urine With Pancreatitis?
I was diagnosed with pleurisy about two weeks ago and treated with anti-inflammatories. Unfortunately, I continued to get worse. When I reached the point where I was having major difficulty breathing I went to the ER and was also diagnosed with Pancreatitis. This was about a week ago and my condition seems to be getting worse. My doctor is treating this very lightly and I have not been able to get in to see him. This morning I woke up and I noticed this very repugnant odor coming from my urine. This odor has not gone away and now everything tastes bad. I am not sure what to do.

Hello,
The odor in urine is urinary tract infection with the possible side effect of certain drugs, lack of oral liquids intake or other systemic manifestation of pancreatitis.
A primary evaluation with urine microscopy will help to guide further. If can provide rest details of ultrasound and current medicines, better guidelines can be sorted here.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
