dark colored urine

It could be a sign of dehydration. While more concentrated urine isn't, in itself, a horrible thing...you should aim for less concentrated urine and better hydration.

Try drinking more Water in the evening. Keep a water bottle near you during your evening activities and sip, sip, sip:) Keep it next to your bed.

Good hydration helps weight loss and keeps your kidneys healthy.

Its likely you are dehydrated. Be sure and drink Water during all waking hours.

Only other thing besides dehydration is something in your diet, you occasionally get weird shades. And when I get dehydrated the concentrated urine burns and I'm more prone to develop an urinary tract infection. Drink drink drink, keep that critter pale yellow.

Tell me about it, I could drink 96-128 ounces of Water while I was on the pre-op diet without batting an eyelash. It'll help when the weather warms up and I can drink water during my commute.

Welcome to my world, I go so, much you'd think I was a guy with prostate disease. The majority of my problem is: I have 3 kidneys. Its kinda family tradition, both my parents did too. Mamma had a normal on the left and a horseshoe on the right 2 fused so it looked like a giant C, Daddy had 2 normal on the right-1 on the left I am the reverse. Both Daddy and I would have been wonderful potential kidney donors as we had 3 perfect drainage systems. When I had pancreatitis, something nobody would want to have, imagine somebody hits you across the upper abdomen with a cement 2x4 and then sits on it. Gastric surgery can't hurt any worse than that! At any rate, they did a cat scan and said We might have bad news, you may have a tumor on the left side. No I said, its okay that's just the top of my extra kidney. So I have a pair and a spare, the bad news is they all are fully functional so I clear urine 1 1/2 as fast as normal. I am a tinkling machine. They love me for urine samples cause I always have plenty to give. The Bible says we are strange and wonderfully made, certainly holds true in my case.

I drink plenty of Water and other fluids throughout the day and my urine is still dark in color (bright yellow). I believe it's the Vitamins that changing the color.

Bingo! B12 or a B complex will give you freakishly bright yellow urine.
