If your pee is yellow even with lots of water, it's usually due to vitamin B supplements (especially B2/Riboflavin), certain foods (like carrots, beets), some medications, or sometimes an underlying liver issue, as normal hydration makes urine pale yellow or clear; the bright color often comes from excess pigments your body is flushing out, like those from supplements.
Clear/pale yellow means hydrated. Dark yellow suggests dehydration. Pink/red see a doctor. Foamy urine may indicate kidney disease.
If you urinate often, and your pee is very light-colored or even clear, it could be a sign of diabetes.
Some liver and kidney disorders and some urinary tract infections can turn urine dark brown. So can bleeding inside the body called a hemorrhage. A group of illnesses that mainly affect the skin or the nervous system, called porphyria, also can cause brown urine.
Healthy urine should be light yellow, like the color of light straw or lemonade. It means you're drinking enough water, and nothing is visibly wrong with your pee, such as foamy, bubbly or bloody pee.
Symptoms of dehydration
Five early signs of diabetes include frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, fatigue, blurry vision, and slow-healing sores or frequent infections, stemming from high blood sugar levels that affect the body's ability to use glucose for energy, leading to these common symptoms.
How Does Sugar in Urine Look? Sugar in urine does not always have obvious signs but can sometimes give urine a cloudy appearance. High levels of sugar in the urine may also may your pee smell sweet.
What Are the Early Symptoms of Liver Disease? Common early symptoms include: Jaundice – Yellowing of the skin, eyes, fingernails, or tongue caused by a buildup of bilirubin. Dark urine – May appear brown or amber even if you're hydrated, due to elevated bilirubin levels.
The color of your pee depends on how hydrated you are. If you drink a lot of fluid, your pee should be clear to yellow. If you're dehydrated, your pee is usually darker yellow or slightly orange.
Two easy tests help determine if you have kidney disease or not;
Caring for Your Kidney
Damaged glomeruli reduce your kidneys' ability to properly filter waste, meaning that abnormal amounts of protein and sometimes blood to leak into your urine, causing it to be pinkish, reddish, foamy or even brown in color.
Bright yellow urine is often a side effect of vitamin B2 supplementation or dehydration. It is not typically a sign of a severe medical condition. Most of the time, drinking enough water will clear it up.
Urine glucose testing involves checking the color of a test strip to see if your glucose is too high. Depending on the results, you may have blood sugar problems that need more testing or management.
According to its proponents, you use the pinch method by holding the thumb and index finger of one hand just above the wrist of the other hand and then exerting a little bit of pressure on the wrist. Doing this will supposedly cause the release of insulin and break down glucose.
Symptoms of hyperglycaemia include:
The Early Warning Signs
You can develop type 2 diabetes at any age, even during childhood. However, type 2 diabetes occurs most often in middle-aged and older people. You are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes if you are age 45 or older, have a family history of diabetes, or are overweight or have obesity.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can have similar symptoms, including:
Dehydration often masks itself as hunger – particularly in the form of sugar cravings. This is because even mild dehydration can make it difficult for our body to tap into energy stores, particularly glycogen, the body's main storage for carbohydrates.
1) Water. No surprises here. Water is always going to be one of the best drinks to hydrate. Pure water is completely natural.
You can quickly check for dehydration at home. Pinch the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone. This will show skin turgor. Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal.
