Why is pee dark?

Dark urine can be caused by dehydration, which concentrates the levels of waste products in your urine, or by the presence of certain substances like blood or bilirubin. It can also be a sign of certain medical conditions such as liver or kidney problems. If your urine is consistently dark in color, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.


Why few mucous threads in urine and urine color is amber?

The urine can be a significant indicator of health or illness. In a healthy, well-hydrated person, the urine should be a clear, yellow-golden color. Some physicians comment that if a person imagined a newspaper at the bottom of the toilet, you should be able to read the words of the newspaper through the urine. Urine becomes darker in color if a person is dehydrated because the urine is more concentrated. When the person increases water consumption, the urine lightens in color. When a person is over-hydrated the urine can become very, very light in color. Doctors recommend 8 glasses of water a day at 8 ounces each to adequately flush the kidneys and for optimum urinary health. Besides dehydration, the urine can darken in the presence of a bladder or kidney infection. Infection irritates the bladder wall, often resulting in small to large amounts of blood in the urine. The amount of blood can be so small that it is not seen by the eye but is detected during urinalysis or "clean catch" specimens. Also during urinary infection, the bladder walls can slough off more mucous or mucous-like tissue. This needs to be evaluated by a physician or laboratory tests. If the mucous is caused by urinary infection, antibiotics are important. An untreated UTI (urinary tract infection) can become so bad that it travels to the kidneys. However, some people have occassional mucous in the urine with no presence of UTI. The only way to positively determine if there is a UTI is to have urine tests done. There are many other conditions that can affect the urine's color, concentration, appearance such as mucous threads, or its odor so it is important to be evaluated by a physician.
