HYDRATION

THE MEANING OF URINE COLOR

Eating food can discolor urine are berries, beets, fava beans or taking certain medications makes it more likely that you will have harmless changes in the color of urine. Many over-the-counter and prescription medications give urine more vivid color tone like raspberrt red, lemon-yellow and orange.

Urine color gets from a pigment called urochrome. That color varies normally from pale yellow to deep amber, depending on concentration of the urine. Urine can turn a rainbow of colors and an unusual hue does not necessarily cause for any alarm but it can be also a sign of urinary tract infection.

Deep purple urine is a characteristic of porphyria, which ID an inherited disorder of red blood cells.



Red or Pink Urine

Blood- Factors
Typically is a sign of blood in the urine, and can be a sign of something serious like an infection such a urinary tract infection, enlarged prostate, or cancerous and noncancerous tumors, kidney crysts, long-distance running, kidney or bladder stones which warrants a visit to the doctor or urologist. If there's blood and its cloudy, there is a chance of infection.



Medications
Rifampin (Rafadin, Rimactance), an antibotic often used to treat tuberculosis can turn urine red. Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) Phenazopyridine (Pyridium) a drug that numbs urinary tract discomfort and laxatives containing senna as well as certain chemotherapy drugs.

In some cases, orange urine can indicate a problem with the liver or bile duct especially if you have light-colored stools. Orange urine may also be caused by dehyration which can concentrate your urine and make it much deeper in color. 

Toxins
Chronic lead or mercury poisoning can also cause urine to turn red.

Dyes
Some brightly colored food dyes can cause green urine. some Dyes are also used in some test of kidneys and bladder function can turn urine blue. Amitriptyline, Indomethacin (Indocin) and Propofol (Diprivan) causes urine to be green.
