Brown urine can indicate the presence of blood in the urine, known as hematuria. A diagnostic test may be ordered to assess for the presence of hematuria in the urine, which could indicate a UTI or other underlying conditions. Ketones, proteinuria, and calcium would not typically cause brownish urine.
