Urine color is one of the body’s indicators if it is receiving enough water. When a person is dehydrated, urine output is decreased and colour is darker. Certain diseases (or food!) can change the color or urine completely.
No Colour (Transparent)
When the colour of your urine is transparent, it means that you have a lot of water in your body and you need to stop drinking that much water. Normal urine usually ranges from colorless to pale yellow. The yellow color comes from a substance called bilirubin, which comes from red blood cells. When a person is well hydrated, bilirubin is very diluted, giving urine a very pale, transparent yellow color.
Dark Yellow Urine
When a person does not drink enough water to compensate for the loss through sweating and other body processes. Urine becomes more concentrated, giving it a darker yellow color.
Amber or Honey Colored Urine
It signifies that you are dehydrated. Urine can also turn amber in color if you are substituting water with artificially colored fruit juices or sodas, which can turn urine color darker even with adequate amounts of fluid intake.
Brown Urine
Urine turns brown in color with severe dehydration. By this time, urine output is markedly decreased as the body attempts to keep water in. Brown urine can also be caused by damage to the kidneys or liver.
Orange Urine
When urine is bright orange or yellow, it might be an indication of the excess of B vitamins. But it can be caused by a liver disease.
Pink or Red Urine
Urine that is pink or red in color can be caused by different things, such as consuming beets or rhubarb, medication or medical conditions causing blood in the urine, i.e a urinary tract infection or kidney and bladder stones. However, this symptom should not be ignored and medical assistance should be sought at once.
Blue or Green Urine
Blue or green urine is usually due to using medicine, such as amitriptyline, indomethacin, and propofol An infection of the urinary tract with Pseudomonas bacteria causes urine to turn green.
Foaming or Fizzy
This usually harmless. But if this happens all the time, it may be a sign of that you are eating too much protein, or you have a kidney problem.
Note:- If you noticed that colour of your urine has been changed. We recommend you to consult a doctor for a medical checkup or treatment.
