Your urine color is more than just a reflection of hydration—it can be a window into your kidney function. Here’s a quick breakdown of what the color might mean:
- Clear: You may be overhydrated — consider cutting back slightly.
- Pale Yellow: You’re well hydrated ✅
- Dark Yellow: A sign of mild dehydration — drink water soon.
- Amber/Orange: Could indicate possible dehydration or vitamin intake effects — best to consult a doctor.
- Red or Pink: May suggest blood in urine — seek urgent medical attention.
- Foamy or Bubbly: Can signal protein in urine, a warning sign of kidney stress — get a medical test.
Paying attention to these signs can help you detect kidney issues early and take action. Pair this with a low oxalate diet and proper hydration to support your kidney health.
