A member asked:
Why is my urine clear if i am dehydrated with bad water retention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex: Color of urine does not indicate hydration status. Dehydrated (too little) and water retention (too much) are kind of opposites. They can co exist in complex illnesses in the sense that water is mostly swelling and outside the blood vessels.
