Question 1

drinking lots of water but always thirsty. not urinating excessivly. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities.: Could be a variety of possible causes.  On example may be a diabetic with poor kidney funcion.

Question 2

i drinking lots of water, but producing very little urine, why?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not enough: Certain experts say that one should drink half their body weight in ounces of water a day.  You probably aren't drinking that much.  It could be that you are losing fluids through perspiration, work outs or even "insensible" loss.  Might be worth while to check out the function of your kidneys either through blood, or urine tests or even both

Question 3

30yrmale,srcreat 1.2,urine analysis clean.drinking lots of water but urination is very less.color is clean.i am on pregabalin. no weight change

Accepted Answer

What's the problem?: Serum creatinine of 1.2 is fine especially if you've got some muscles. I'm wondering why you're on pregabalin and especially why you're B12-deficient; if the latter is from vegetarianism, I hope you'll consider all your options and in any case I'm glad you're supplementing. Your creatinine says your kidneys are working fine and I'd urge you to stop worrying about this and be thankful for health.

Question 4

my urine smells out of the ordinary. its clear after drinking lots of water then after urinating twice its back to very concentrated yellow and smell.?

Accepted Answer

Hydration: The biggest factor contributing to urine odor or smell is how hydrated you are.  The concentrated, yellow color with smell should be a notice to drink more fluid.  Keep the fluids going.

Question 5

how much would drinking lots of water before a urine test, decrease the level of protein in the urine? 2-fold? 5-fold?

Accepted Answer

P:C ratio: We usually check a protein to creatinine ratio, so creatinine may also decrease leaving the ratio the same.

Question 6

why does my urine always turn darker just after drinking lots of water, and then it turns lighter after the first urination?

Accepted Answer

Concentration: The first voided urine was probably concentrated as you were taking in the fluid it became more dilute then less concentrated therefore appearing more clear.

Question 7

reasons for urine to be a dark yellow even when drinking lots of water?

Accepted Answer

Yellow urine: Dark yellow is not as bad as dark brown, etc.  Dark yellow often signifies your urine is simply concentrated.  Certainly with dehydration, your urine will get more concentrated and darker too, so keep drinking plenty of fluids.  At times early uti's may be dark, but without any other symptoms i would not worry.  If concerned, get eval with a urine dip and your fears will be alleviated. Best wishes.

Question 8

i drink lots of water, but my urine is often dark yellow. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

See below: Is urine dark yellow throughout the day or only first void of the day? Do you take vitamin b complex? Do you take any medications? First-void urine tends to be darker because we haven't been drinking during sleep. Certain b vitamins can turn urine a bright yellow color. Some meds contain tartrazine in the coating, which may color urine. If you have burning/ pain, urgency, frequency, see doc.

Question 9

will drinking lots of water make my urine for a drug test look more clean?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Remember just because the urine looks clear does not mean that it will test clean!

Question 10

i have had cloudy urine for 3 days, i am drinking lots of water, no other symptoms?!  it comes and goes throughout the day, freaking out please help!!

Accepted Answer

Entirely normal: Cloudy urine is not abnormal if it occurs without other symptoms like painful urination, urgency, or discharge. It's due to intake of fluids, various foods, etc. Cloudiness usually is from microscopic phosphate crystals; you can check this possibility by adding a few drops of vinegar to a urine sample, which probably will turn it crystal clear. This is nothing to worry about.
