What Your Urine Colour Says by emyibe(m): 7:12pm On Oct 31, 2014
Urine is a waste product made in the kidney as a
means of removing unwanted substances from the
body. Numerous factors affect the colour of urine,
what we eat and drink goes a long way to affect
our urine colour. A person that fasts from food
and water on a sunny day will have dark yellow
urine due to dehydration. The myth that when the
urine is yellow indicates malaria is very wrong,
the standard colour of urine ranges from
colourless to amber to light yellow depending on
various factors. Alcohol in the system and when
over hydrated especially in cool environments can
lead to a very clear urine with high volume.
Vegetables can change urine colour. Drugs can
change urine colour and odour e.g. Rifampicin can
make the urine colour orange in colour. Below are
urine colours and what they stand for:
Yellow/light orange may be caused by removal
of excess B vitamins from the blood
Bloody urine is a symptom of wide variety of
medical conditions
Dark orange to brown urine can be a symptom
of jaundice, rhabdomyolysis or Gilbert’s syndrome
Black or dark coloured urine may be caused
by melanoma
Pinkish urine can result from the consumption
of beets
Greenish urine can result from the
consumption of asparagus
Reddish or brown urine may be caused by
porphyria
Blue urine may be caused by the ingestion of
methylene blue e.g. in medications
Blue urine stains can be caused by blue diaper
syndrome
Purple urine may be due to purple urine bag
syndrome
The odour of normal urine can reflect what has
been consumed or specific diseases. Sweet smell
is sugar in urine which indicates diabetes.
Asparagus, onions, saffron, tuna fish, alcohol,
coffee can affect the scent of urine.
The normal urine volume is 1-2 litres per day but
this can be affected by some factors. In very hot
conditions, the body tends to save more water
especially when a lot is lost sweating. If you feel
the urge to ease yourself and you engage in an
activity that increases sweating without drinking
any fluid to replenish that urge will suddenly
disappear because the body will make use of all
water in the body when necessary. Expect much
urine when you take alcohol, in cold weather, in
air conditioned vehicles etc. Expect low urine
volume in hot weather, when engaging in activities
that make you sweat.
Drinking of urine is very wrong even in survival
conditions it only makes thirst worse, rather soak
a cloth in urine and place it on the head.
