If urine is completely clear, it usually means too much water intake. Overhydration dilutes sodium and other electrolytes, which can actually lead to dehydration. Hydration depends on the right balance of water and electrolytes, not just drinking more fluid. Drinking when thirsty is often enough, especially if you are not sweating or exercising.
Yellow, amber, or straw-colored urine is considered normal. The color comes from pigments in the blood and indicates their proper concentration.
Red or pink urine is usually a sign of blood. This can happen for several reasons, including kidney stones, menstruation, infections, or more serious conditions. Repetitive physical impact, such as long-distance running, can also cause bleeding. Any presence of blood should be checked by a doctor.
Orange or bright fluorescent yellow urine is commonly caused by synthetic vitamins, especially B vitamins, or medications containing dyes. In rare cases, orange urine can be related to gallbladder or liver issues.
Blue or green urine is often caused by medications, food dyes, or methylene blue. Certain foods, including asparagus, can also change urine color.
Dark brown urine is usually a sign of dehydration. As it becomes darker, it can also indicate liver-related issues.
Foamy, normal-colored urine can indicate excess protein intake. It may also be linked to chronic kidney disease or diabetes, since kidney damage can cause protein to spill into the urine. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease, and reducing protein intake is often the first step taken to see if foaminess improves.
Cloudy urine is most often a sign of infection. The most common urinary tract infection is caused by E. coli and should be checked by a doctor.
