What Causes Urine To Smell Salty?
My urine has a very strong SALTY smell and has been a few weeks. I have had urine & blood test last few months and all seems fine. I am a 51 year old female with autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, CFS, Lupus testing with high numbers but no diagnosis as yet. I am on a lot of medications, but the only change recently is higher doses of GABAPENTIN 600mg x 3 a day. Is salty smelling urine a side effect? This is really bothering me, why salty smell?
