Actually, I drink plenty of water, and my pee still smells strong. Maybe it does have to do with veggies. Or certain vitamins?
Ketosis won't harm your kidneys, according to all I've read. Ketones are a natural product of your body at all times, a form of energy some cells in your body use in preference to glucose. Now you just have more.
Different people cause varying reactions on those stix. Some people lose successfully without ever changing the color. As long as you are drinking a decent amount of water, the color isn't that critical.
Recently someone posted a short informational article on ketosis on this site. You'll find it here: About Ketosis Not the whole story, but informative.
