Accepted Answer

May be: Jaundice (yellow pigment) in the skin accompanied by dark urine, light color of stool are classical signs of liver problem.  These signs become less obvious as the liver function improves, so the lighter urine and increased appetite suggests recovery; however, it is best to check liver function studies to assess what is going on.

Question 4

i have orange urine every morning. it is clear after an hour. is this a sign of liver disease or would the urine be darker all the time? heavy drinker

Accepted Answer

Drink more water and: less alcohol. The dark color of your urine is likely due to dehydration and your alcohol intake is at least partly to blame for that.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

i have liver disease from alcohol abuse and did quit.i started drinking beer.now i have blood in my urine.what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step: Here's a way to evaluate your urine issue before you see a doctor - but that's what will give you a clear answer. http://www.drugs.com/symptom/blood-in-the-urine-in-men-1.html
Also - please realize that beer counts as alcohol. And, if you drink lots, it counts as a lot of it. Liver disease can darken urine, but it's not the likely cause of red blood. Hope it's nothing big. Be well.
