My urine has been dark in color to an orange color no matter how much i drink. im not taking any vitamines. should this be a concern?

Urinalysis needed: If one doesn't drink enough fluids, her urine may be concentrated and appear darker. However orange discoloration could be due to bilirubin caused by liver, pancreatic or gall bladder problems. Blood cells in urine may also cause discoloration. I recommend that you have a urinalysis and microscopic exam of the urine for evaluation of the discoloration.
