A member asked:

Please advise if it's normal to have dark urine in the morning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dark morning urine: Your dark urine in the morning is likely is concentrated. Which is why it is dark, as your kidneys were busy conserving water while you slept. If you had other conditions, your urine would be dark all the time you urinated.
