A member asked:

If toddlers urine is dark yellow but gets better with fluids, could it still be a liver or kidney problem? or is it most likely dehydration?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Felecia Sumner answered

Dehydration: If the color of the urine improves/lightens with increased fluids, then it is likely from dehydration.

Dr Munshower and 3 doctors agreed
