Detailed explanation-1: -Lighter colored urine is more diluted, whereas darker urine contains less fluid. Very dark urine could be a sign that you’re dehydrated. If your urine doesn’t fit within this color scheme, don’t panic. A lot of things can change the color of urine, including the foods you eat or the medications you take.
Detailed explanation-2: -“The color of your urine is a great barometer of whether you’re hydrating well enough. If it’s clear or straw-colored, then you’re drinking sufficient fluid. If it becomes dark yellow or brown, then you are likely somewhat dehydrated, ” says UCI Health urologist Dr.
Detailed explanation-3: -The regular color of urine varies. It depends on how much water you drink. Fluids dilute the yellow pigments in urine. So the more you drink, the clearer your urine looks.
Detailed explanation-4: -When you have not drank enough fluids your kidneys try to save as much water as they can and cause your urine to be darker in colour (more concentrated). Dark yellow urine is a sign that you are dehydrated and that you must drink more fluids to prevent dehydration.
