The colour of urine can tell if some organs aren’t functioning well, a deficiency, etc. The colour of your urine can indicate one’s health state and point to what goes on inside the body and this is why it is important to take note of how your urine looks like, as well as the sensation when passing it.
Here are 5 colours of urine and what they say about your health:
1. Clear
A clear urine is usually a sign that enough water is consumed and that the body is greatly hydrated. The clearer the urine means enough water is consumed, and staying hydrated can never harm anyone.
2. Brown
A brown coloured urine shows that one is dehydrated in simple cases, but in some cases, it might also be an indication of liver problem where immediate treatment should be sought.

3. Dark Yellow
Dark yellow is a sign indicating the need to increase your fluid intake, and it is the major reason people are advised to take more water when the urine is dark yellow in colour.
4. Orange
An orange coloured urine usually indicates very low water intake, when it’s not food colouring, and in some cases, it might signify a liver condition.
5. Red
When the urine is red, then there’s very cause for alarm, though it might also be due to certain food or colouring taken in. It could also be anything around kidney, bladder or prostrate cancer, and should be checked immediately. Red coloured urine usually signify a mix with blood which is something you shouldn’t ignore.
