Explanation: A yellow to amber shade is considered healthy and normal. The yellow color is due to a pigment called urobilin, a waste product formed from the breakdown of hemoglobin. Darker shades of yellow indicate more concentrated urine, which usually signals that your body could benefit from more water intake.
Caution: This color is generally not alarming. However, if you see a consistent darker yellow despite drinking adequate water, it might suggest the kidneys are retaining water. This could be due to mild dehydration, heat exposure, or physical activity.
3. Dark Yellow or Honey-Colored
What It Means: Likely dehydration.
Explanation: Dark yellow urine indicates concentrated waste due to water conservation. When the body is dehydrated, the kidneys filter out waste with less water, making urine darker.
Caution: Dark yellow urine that doesn’t lighten after drinking water could signal chronic dehydration, which may overwork the kidneys over time. Chronic dehydration can increase the risk of kidney stones, as concentrated urine allows minerals to crystallize and form stones.
4. Amber or Deep Yellow
What It Means: Dehydration or potential liver/bile duct issues.
