Detailed explanation-1: -Very dark honey-or brown-colored urine could be a sign that you’re dehydrated and need to get more fluids. It may also be a warning sign of liver problems, so see your doctor if it doesn’t get better after a day or so.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydration can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on how much of your body weight is lost through fluids. Two early signs of dehydration are thirst and dark-coloured urine. This is the body’s way of trying to increase water intake and decrease water loss.
Detailed explanation-3: -During whole-body dehydration, urochrome concentration increases as antidiuresis is stimulated via increased arginine vasopressin production, thus increasing water reabsorption from the collecting duct of the nephron. This physiological response to dehydration results in darker and more concentrated urine (3, 4).
