Question 1

what does it mean when urine appears very bright, almost neon yellow?

Accepted Answer

Not much: The urine color typically reflects its concentration and contents. As long as there are no other symptoms, it isn't a big deal. The more concentrated the urine...The more yellow(typically). This is why urine is almost clear after hitting the bottle too hard as it really dilutes the urine.

Question 2

i have been having bright yellow (almost green) urine. what could this mean? how can i fix it?

Accepted Answer

Urine: Bright yellow urine is not necessarily abnormal and can be seen after taking some B vitamins or not drinking enough fluids. If you have further concerns have your physician order a urinalysis.

Question 3

i have been really nauseous for 3 days along with bright yellow urine. what could that mean?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration?: See your doctor to find out the cause of your nausea and get treated for it. When the nausea goes away you take more fluid in and color improves.

Question 4

does taking a b-complex vitamin and having bright yellow urine mean you are taking enough?

Accepted Answer

Enough B1 and B2: Vitamins B1 and esp. B2 have a yellow color so bright yellow urine suggests enough B1 and B2. But B3, 5, 6, 12 and folate aren&#x27;t yellow and you might still have inadequate levels of those. Many have difficulty absorbing B12. Nearly half of people have trouble metabolizing folic acid and need the L-5-MTHF form of folate. Fasting blood homocysteine can indicate if you have enough B6, B12 and folate.

Question 5

i am taking amoxicillin. my urine is bright yellow. is it from medication?

Accepted Answer

Urine: I have never heard of amoxicillin causing this side effect.  Generally, bright yellow urine is indicative of concentration secondary to a lack of water.  Be sure to keep yourself hydrated.

Question 6

my urine is bright yellow. does yellow food dye cause yellow urine?

Accepted Answer

Can do: Should go away and return when you consume same food containg dye.

Question 7

my urine is bright yellow but i don't take vitamins, cause?

Accepted Answer

Normal variation: The color of one's urine is a reflection of one's state of hydration and how one's body uses water. The more hydrated one is, the clearer the color and the greater the urinary frequency. On the other hand, darker yellow urine is associated with dehydration and less urinary frequency. Vitamin b2 (riboflavin), present in most multivitamins, is what imparts a more colorful yellow/orange urine.

Question 8

hi there

i have been waking up with a sore kidney (my right side) every morning for a few weeks now. i have had this on and off for the last two years. it's only sore in the morning, no other symptoms. my urine is bright yellow now despite lots h2o.

Accepted Answer

"Kidney pain" ?'s: Persistent right flank pain "only in the AM" for "two years" may not be arising from a kidney. Positional elements in sleep can cause muscular pain on one side. See your primary care physician, who may order appropriate imaging studies, labs to confirm this diagnosis, or refer to a renal specialist.

Question 9

my urine is bright yellow has been for a few days on having period like cramping but i'm 2 day late?

Accepted Answer

Late period: If your period is late then you should check a pregnancy test at home. Bright color urine may be a sign of dehydration.

Question 10

17 days post gallbladder surgery, had spicy food that caused gallbladder like attack symptoms.24 hrs after now urine is bright yellow after drinking half a gallon of water?

Accepted Answer

: I wouldn't be worried about bright yellow urine, but would be very concerned about presence of brown urine and clay colored stools, indications of possible bile duct blockage. Nevertheless recurrence of that episode or on going discomfort should be reported to your surgeon.
