A member asked:

Is it normal to have dark yellowish urine in the morning (a bit tea coloured)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dark yellow yes: Dark yellow urine is normal in the morning because it is concentrated because you are not drinking water while sleeping. If however, it is brownish like tea, that may mean there is blood in it. If you think it is a bit brown you should see a doctor for an urinalysis.

I have recently cut out soft drinks in an effort to live more healthy. After I did this my urine went dark yellow in the morning. As I drink water in the day it gets clear. Is this normal. No pain and I feel better than when I was on soft drinks.

From last 1 week I'm having dark yellow urine in the morning straight after waking up (no foul smell or burning sensation). During the course of the day, the urine goes back to normal (colourless). Is this a problem with my kidneys?
