A member asked:
Recently sometimes my urine is dark yellow although i drink much water. then i drink more and it turns completely normal, pale straw.if there was an underlying problem, would it be persistently dark instead of going back to normal by itself?

Transient urine discoloration. I suspect food additive or medication including multivitamin as culprit. Persistent dark smokey urine suggests hematuria (red blood cells in urine) and deserves medical attention.

Agree with Dr. P. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
