I just got over the flu. my pee is dark yellow maybe light orange. do you know why that could happen?

Little dehydrated: After the flu, people lose fluids via perspiration and don't make up for it, due to decreased appetite. This will get better with more eating and drinking for a few days. Although, dehydration may cause less kidney function, this is not worrisome. Also if you took multivitamins, the color of urine will be dark yellow.
