Dehydration: Urine can appear dark for may reasons, but the most common is from relative dehydration. When the kidneys are trying to conserve water they decrease the amount of water excreted, and the urine is more concentrated and appears darker. I would suggest increasing fluid intake.

Question 6

i have dark urine thats almost orange looking what can it be?

Accepted Answer

See answer: The color of the urine is usually either a reflection of the state of your hydration (dehydration: dark urine); or due to a pigment from a dye in your food, vitamins (especially vit b2 riboflavin- orange urine), or medication causing discoloration; or sometimes blood in your urine coming from the kidneys (dark brown or red). I suspect the former two causes and not the latter cause in your case.

i am a 24 year old female. i currently have very dark urine but it's not frequent however when i get done there is a small amount of blood on the toil?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria.: Your first description just sounds like a concentrated urine - like you just need to drink more water - but the blood is a little more thought provoking.  You may have an infection, or there could be something else going on.  We're generally concerned when blood starts leaving the body.  You should see a doctor and start with an exam and urinalysis and culture.

Question 10

Dark urine: Dark urine can mean many things. The main concern is blood in urine will create a dark "tea-colored" urine.  I recommend that you see your doctor and have a urinalysis along with a culture as soon as possible. www.peedoc.com @drhtay.
