Urine Color & Kidney Health: What Your Pee Reveals About Your Body
•Urine color is a simple indicator of hydration and kidney health, with persistent changes signaling potential underlying problems.
•Dr. Anil Prasad Bhatt, Senior Director - Nephrology and Kidney Transplant, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Noida, advises monitoring urine color for early detection of dehydration, infection, or kidney issues.
•Pale yellow indicates healthy hydration, while dark yellow or amber suggests dehydration, potentially leading to kidney stones.
•Pink or red urine may signal blood (hematuria) from infections, kidney stones, or other diseases, requiring medical evaluation if persistent.
•Brown or cola-colored, cloudy, or foamy urine can indicate severe dehydration, liver disease, infection, or excess protein, all warranting medical attention.
