To
your good health - URINE COLOUR INDICATORS
1.
Yellow
Healthy
urine goes from clear to pale yellow, dark yellow to amber, says consultant
urologist Tim Terry. This depends on hydration levels, but if you're somewhere
in the yellow team, you can breathe easy.
2.
Green
Some
antiseptics and anaesthetics give urine a green tinge, says Terry.
This is
thanks to methylene blue, a dye which kidneys sometimes struggle with. Nothing too much to worry about though.
3.
Orange
This is a
sign of liver dysfunction, warns Terry. If your urine is this colour and you notice that your stools are white, it could
be obstructive jaundice. Put down that beer - it's GP
time.
4.
Brown
Muddy-looking
pee means kidney problems. This can be a sign of serious renal disease, even a
fistula, says Terry. That's when your bowel leaks into your bladder. Taxi to hospital now.
5.
Red
This is
really bad. Blood in your urine can mean a haemorrhage or cancer.
In anyone
over 40 we assume it's bladder cancer, unless proven
otherwise, says Terry. Get yourself to the doctor, quickly.
