Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fruity odor in urine is often associated with uncontrolled diabetes, particularly diabetic ketoacidosis, due to the presence of ketones in the urine. In phenylketonuria, the urine has a musty odor. Urinary tract infections may cause a strong, foul odor in urine. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can affect the odor of the urine but usually makes it more acidic or earthy rather than fruity. Polycystic kidney disease may not affect the odor of urine.
