Hepatitis means inflamtion of liver.Hence all the metabolism of the liver 
is disturbed in hepatitis.
One of the metabolic funcion of liver is to excrete bilurubin ,in normal 
liver it is done properly.
Bout in hepatitis is disturbed so some forms of bilurubin pigments appear 
in urine giving urine a dark colour.
