Kidneys Failure

Urine can vary in color due to a variety of factors including hydration level, diet, medications, and underlying health conditions. Here’s a general guide to what different colors might indicate:

• Pale yellow to transparent: This typically indicates a well-hydrated state. It’s considered normal and healthy.
• Bright yellow: This is also normal and may be due to taking certain vitamins or medications like B vitamins or beta-carotene.
• Dark yellow or amber: This can indicate dehydration. It’s a sign that you may need to drink more water.
• Orange: This could be due to certain medications, foods (like carrots or beets), or dehydration. In some cases, it could also signal a liver or bile duct condition.
• Pink or red: This might be due to eating certain foods like beets or berries, but it could also indicate blood in the urine, which could be a sign of a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other health issues.
• Brown: This could indicate liver or kidney disorders, severe dehydration, or eating certain foods. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional if your urine consistently appears brown.
• Green or blue: These colors are rare but can occur due to certain medications, food dyes, or medical conditions.
