Dark Urine

[darthvader_71 5]

Hiya,

Has anyone experienced very dark cloudy urine out of the blue? It seems to happen on days I’m not doing good with Water or like today I spent a few hours at the beach and then came home to a few hours of yard work and I know I’m way low on H2O.. but it looks like coffee coming out? Freaky.. anyone?

You need to drink more. You could be getting dangerously dehydrated. You do NOT want to end up in the emergency room. Your water bottle is your friend.

Creekimp13 is right. You are dangerously low on fluids! It may take days to get you back to normal.

Drinking as we speak.. I’ve never experienced that level of dark before.. weird [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

Are you taking Vitamins? I find those make my pee go pretty golden.

what color is it normally?

You’re dehydrated! You need to drink- urine should be light yellow to clear if your getting enough fluids

Urine that dark means your kidneys are struggling to do their job with minimal water; you can cause acute renal failure. In fact, that's the only time I've seen urine that dark; my husband was in acute renal failure from severe dehydration.

It's been several days, has the situation resolved?

Normally light just when I’m not doing good on Water it goes to the Dark Side [emoji41]

Yes it’s freaky.. I’ve been drinking more water.. it was dark when I first got home from the hospital and only once or twice since then

If it's very dark it can mean dehydration but can also be a sign of kidney stones. Mine went very brown looked like coffee or Cola. Maybe it needs checked
