Let’s face a fact, most people don't give much thought to their pee before they flush it. But the basic details of your urine, color, smell, and how often you go can give you a hint about what’s going on inside your body.
Let us look up some urine colors and what they are telling about our health.
1. Transparent. Colorless urine may indicate that you have
taken too much of water. While not as dangerous as dehydration, you may want to
cut down.
2. Pale
straw color. Normal, healthy, well-hydrated.
3. Transparent yellow. You are normal.
4. Dark yellow. Normal, but you may have to drink some more water.
5. Amber or honey. Possibly dehydrated. You may have to
drink some water, but if it continues for days, see a doctor.
6. Light orange. Possibly dehydrated, but may also be caused
by liver or bile duct problems, consumed food dyes or the excretion of excess B
vitamins from bloodstream. Talk to your doctor.
7. Orange. Medications, such as rifampin or phenazopyridine,
can cause this coloration. Ask your doctor.
8. Dark orange or brown. A possible symptom of jaundice, rhabdomyolysis or Gilbert’s syndrome. Also
caused by severe dehydration. See your doctor.
9. Pink. Eating beets, blueberries or
rhubarb can cause this for some people. “If you’ve eaten beets and have urine color changes, you may have to see a doctor.
