Can the color or your pee indicate kidney failure???
If you drink more water your pee like pure water.

On an interesting side note: if you are trying to lose a couple pounds, but often feel hungry, it is actually dehydration sometimes. If you hydrate, you won’t be as hungry all the time.

I am a healthy 61 year old male. I did my yearly urinalysis and blood tests in early June before leaving the Philippines for the USA. Found elevated blood levels in urine. Went to Dr. Ocampo, renowned urologist in the Philippines. He told me to get an ultrasound. Found a kidney stone blocking the urethera. Emergency surgery for $2000 USD (would have been $5700-$9700 in the US). I feel great now, more energy and stamina! All because of testing: just do the tests!!!

1:10 "a compound that is excreted by your kidneys" then shows the liver highlighted on the graphic. Big brain moment.
I was going to say the same when I saw your post. This will be the end of my viewing, as I'd rather listen to someone who knew what they were talking about.
@@AK-dr1801 the word in focus is not released, but excreted. Also you're plain wrong. It's metabolised by the liver, but excreted through the kidneys. If we were talking about stercobilin, your comment would be relevant. *Urobilinogen* is released in the bile, reabsorbed by the gut, metabolised again by the liver into urobilin, which is water soluble enough to be passed out by the kidneys.
And? Must be nice being a visual learner.
Came to say the same thing...
No that’s just one kidney you fool.
Thanks for the great information!!!
Great presentation and I needed it just this minute! I need to keep an eye on a few things. Thank you so much!
@mary First hey dumb go sleep
One time i started peeing like a pink reddish color and I was freaking out, I was like wtf, but then I remembered that earlier that day I had eaten a type of bread my parents had brought from Mexico which contained beets and rhubarb, and I found out that those things can literally make your pee reddish or pink. I must say that the bread was delicious.
Is it on the sweeter side? The spicier? Sour? Salty? Plain? Some other? Can you describe it?
Edit : it refers to the bread. But I had a good laugh.
@@abhiswarakumbhare5468 So I can say, in my experience, that it has a more salty flavor, with a tone of spice to it. However I wouldn't recommend it in big dosis as drinking urine can damage your kidney.

Oftentimes when I wake up in the morning and pee for the first time, it’s a much deeper yellow. However I haven’t drank anything yet. I’m pretty sure this is because I hadn’t had any fluids for many hours since I was asleep, and as the day progresses I’ll have more fluids and it has a more light color.

The anxiety you get when your urine is red but then relieved once you find out its kidney stones.
I've passed three kidney stones, relief is not the word I would use.
@@matthewrinehart2367 Knowing its kidney stones and not some other condition is what's relieving.
Usually it's not the color of pee that's the problem. Typically it's the searing pain where you think you're going to die.
I passed many kidneys stones. Dark dark yellow not red. Close to brown side but now brown. But burning too. Also you know your having a kidney stone when the pee pee is burning at the tip a good ache feel without peeing
@@matthewrinehart2367 the relief comes when the kidney stone is passed 😏

red in my piss meant that I had cancer in one of my kidneys. They went in, yanked out righty and now lefty does all the work. 8 years later, all is well.
I had a major bypass surgery last year, when I woke I was in the ICU and I remember the nurse taking away my urine collection bag as they were closely watching my intake and output, but the contents were nearly black, darker than Pepsi. The operation took a lot longer than planned, they said it would be 4 to 6 hours in the OR but it ended up being 12. They bypassed the aorta and both femoral arteries. I was so out of it I did not ask about the pee, but they had a lot of fluid going into me by IV lines, as in multiple IVs. At one point there were 5 bags hanging from the IV poles, fentanyl, morphine (Dilaudid) and who knows what all. All I know is I had to really beg and plead for a few ice chips just to hydrate my mouth and throat. I overheard one nurse at shift change saying he did not think I was going to make it. The pee also had a reddish cast, and the surgery took so long with the aorta closed that my spleen infarcted. No other information about that, I hope I still have one.
IT'S my Forth day at gym and my urine is Dark Brown right now.I will try hydrate myself but, Pray For Me.
Despite what he has said, its actually very easy to drink too much water and die as the result. If you are doing a lot of exercise in humid conditions over long periods of time such as hiking and drinking a lot of water to make up for the loss in sweat, you also lose all salts and minerals in doing this. So its best to have salts and electrolytes in this process
Drinking too much water actually can make the salinity in your body too low. That makes your blood pressure way too low.
Salt is always good
It isn't easy to die from drinking too much water if you do it very moderate and make sure you urinate/sweat
@@cherylowl8416 no, it only makes your blood hypotonic, and "excess" water gets shifted to the relatively more hypertonic extravascular space. Unless I'm forgetting about some mechanic?
If it s that easy how many deaths a year or are you talking bs
As a nutritionist, I would have included a segment on supplements contributing towards pee color (e.g. B-Complex, Vitamin C or even a Multi). 👍🏼
I can vouch for that. When I take multivitamins my pee turns so yellow it looks like I drank a highlighter.
Yes, vitamins turn urine yellow.. usually bright clear .👍
I take a Solgar VM75 "horse pill" with about 5000%RDA of B vits. I've been advised to "get myself checked out" by random strangers at the pub urinal who hadn't seen luminous vitamin pee before.
When I drink iron supplement my urine is YELLOW
Thank you all. My GP has suggested I get some multi-vitamins. Now I shall know what to expect. Hugs to you all ;-)) S.

The secret recipe has been discovered
Thank you for this video. All I do is look up why my urine is dark yellow at different times of the day and I always get the worst answers. Sometimes perfect straw color like normal! Will be seeing a doctor about this just in case. Thanks again!
The amount of water a person needs daily is not one size fits all. It depends on height/weight, where you live (ie in Arizona vs New England states ... in Arizona, it is much hotter and your need for water is more. Also the amount of exercise you do/don't do. The more exercise you do, the more water you'll need. Things like that.
TBH, the best way of going about it is paying attention to how much is going in and how much is going out. It can be a bit tough in places like Arizona that are both extremely hot and extremely dry during parts of the year as it can be difficult to know how much your sweating if it immediately evaporates. But, in that case, you'd look at how much you're peeing and what it looks like. If it starts to get chunky or foamy, then you're in a fair it of trouble.
I was noticing darker colored urine while fasting for more than 36 hours so I began upping my water intake whenever I am doing a multi-day fast. Seems to have resolved the issue. When fasting; Drink more water than you think you need.
That's what i do eat wake up than eat go back to sleep during ramadan
I drink little to no liquid in a DAY and my pee is clear af so ya the body is weird
@@lexo6987 SO,U DONT PRAY,THIS IS WHY SABRINA NEVER FASTS
If your fasting for many
Hours anywhere from 14 hrs. Or more, your uric acid levels will elevate. Your urine will turn darker.
Once you drink enough water they will go back down. The main factor is that every one’s body is different & a lot of Dr’s & people do not consider this. Especially a lot of the nutritional gurus on here & elsewhere. Example fasting, keto diet, other diets etc… everyone is different & they may not be able to process certain foods, amounts of water etc…
Also wise to have electrolytes when fasting for longer periods
I stop drinking soda for almost a year and it's the best thing I ever did

Oh no!
Exactly! Post-op urine bags are very important. Dehydration can suggest that the kidneys aren’t working, which can lead to full organ shut down.

@@gregoireansari6651 I can tell you're below the age of 10.
Two stories. When my grandfather was a pediatrician his assistant (my grandma) played a prank on him and filled a sample cup with fresca soda which was new then. My grandfather freaked out when he saw bubbling on the slide and told my grandma to call fresca's parents and tell them to bring her to the ER.
A sadder story was with the head of neurology at the hospital my mom was working at. He was diagnosed with late stage bladder cancer and eventually passed away from it. It turns out he was peeing blood for a long time but somehow never noticed because he was colorblind and therefore let the cancer progress. I didn't know it was possible to be that intensely colorblind but who knows.
It's not about intensity but type. There is a type of colorblind that makes yellow and red look the same so it likely did not appear to change color at all. Very sad.
Most interesting stories - thank you for sharing them. I s'pose the lesson in them is that no system is foolproof. Everything can look ok, and not be, and things can look disastrous and not be.

How ironic, the doctor at the end cautions against Goggling about urine color as this is not specific enough to say if there is a problem, however this video is about what urine color can tell you.
Difference is that this is an educational video. But when people google specific things such as this, they often end up self-diagnosing. Which is why he advised against it.
"CAN tell you"
@Rahul hmm? no, i'm saying that the "can" implies that there are various different causes of the color, while searching online will prolly just give you one answer (in the doctors words).
This was so helpful and a great reminder to drink water daily as well, I tend to forget which I really shouldn’t since I suffered from membranous nephropathy. Good to be informed, thanks
I use my phone as a reminder. I’ve also seen a clock - being used in a hospital ward - that can be set up to speak reminders for different things across the day (drink, eat, use toilet, etc)

I agree.
Great video and very informative which also firms what has happened to me. If I eat too many home cooked beets they tend to turn my urine the same color as the beets. I panicked over this until I put on my thinking cap about the color. It cleared up and I cut down on the number of beats I eat.
I recently set up an appointment with my doctor because there was blood in my urine. So while I waited for my appointment to get here I decided to do a urine test with those test strips that test a lot of other things. The strip color for blood was the next to the darkest. So I stopped using a really cheap brand of toilet paper and went back to Scott tissues then tested again. The strip showed a lighter color the next day. By the 4th day the blood was completely gone. This blood in my urine was happening for a while and it was during the time I was using this cheap Walmart brand of toilet paper. So I was able to cancel my appointment.
A MUST TO READ
A really important advice I'd like to give to everyone: don't drink a lot within a short period of time. I used to think "oh drinking lots of water could make my skin clearer yada yada yada" but your kidney can process a certain amt of water in an hour. I experienced what I believe is water coma? My insides felt like bursting and I literally became paralysed for 1 minute. It felt like all organs were swollen.
I have a big bottle I sip throughout the day.
Ohhh that explains why I throw up so much after a week long bender

Rule of thumb in the 60's, during draught conditions: 'If it is yellow, let it mellow. Brown, flush it down.' Still a good rule of thumb for draught conditions.
I did this when I lived alone but now I have roommates and so many people think this is disgusting 🙄
Ah yes remember it well. But if you use a low-flow toilet, don't "let it mellow" TOO much. 1) the urine will develop an unbearable strong ammonia smell, especially in hot weather, and 2) your plumbing actually needs regular flushes to keep the t.p. moving and prevent it from solidifying and clogging the outflow pipes. Trust me on this, our complex has awful outflow plumbing.
Few years ago I was in the hospital passing a stone, and I couldn't keep ANY thing down. Not even water. When they asked for a sample it was almost dark as blood, can't forget that. So glad that's all done with!
My worst was my first (only one that ever caused vomiting, I believe) and, of course, I didn't know what was going on. Over the years, they became less and less of a problem, to the point where I would usually have what seemed like a minor backache one day, and pass a stone the next... SURPRISE! I DID have a bad one in 2007(?) that had to be broken up by shockwave; only one in over forty years of them that I didn't pass.
I THINK I have one now that is IN the kidney, but causing bleeding on days with more physical activity, though there is usually a lot of sweating associated WITH the activity, so it's hard to pinpoint a trigger. The urine will get darker and darker on those days only (going on for about 3-4 months now), and not until it reaches almost the color of coffee can you detect a reddish tint; prior to that, it appears as stages of brown akin to iced tea. Other than the off color, the only symptom is a slight, continuous discomfort in the abdomen. On less active/less perspiration days, it can be almost as clear as water.
Which leads to my question: If I get my water primarily from iced tea, does it count? I don't drink ANY soft drinks, only a hot tea morning and evening, and iced tea (made with spring water and spiked with Peach Mango V-Fusion!) ALL DAY. On REALLY hot days, if I am perspiring a LOT... which I DO (really, anything above 75 degrees with heavy activity) I will AUTOMATICALLY default to spring water since it just seems more refreshing. BUT, when I am drinking iced tea EXCLUSIVELY, am I REALLY getting the water I need from the tea, in fact, is it even POSSIBLE to, since it is caffeinated, and caffeine is a diuretic, blah, blah, blah?
If you can't answer it, I need to remember to ask the urologist when I finally make it in for what is hopefully a sonogram to rule in/out the presence of a stone in the kidney. I'm HOPING it IS a stone because, if not, it's probably something WORSE! : )
EDIT: Actually just checked, and Mayo Clinic says... as I interpret it... that you CAN get enough water from drinking enough caffeinated drinks exclusively, though they do have a MILD diuretic effect. Good, because I always used to say to my wife when she would tell me that I needed to "drink more water":
"But my iced tea is FULL of water!" : )
Not sure but I think there may be something in tea that can exacerbate kidney stones, worth checking
@@yasmeenamzk: Oh, I'm PRETTY SURE that's the primary source of my stones (though I can't recall ever having one analyzed... MAYBE I have), but I REFUSE to give up my only vice! I am just a TEA PERSON! : )
@@lordofthewoods I know exactly how you feel! I’m the same 😆
@@lordofthewoods just drink half a gallon of water throughout the day and you will be drinking enough water, I drink about this much water and my urine is mostly clear. Keeping yourself hydrated everyday by drinking water removes the toxins that your body accumulates from breaking down food and other things. In your case you wanted to substitute tea for water which makes since because in order to make tea you just add a tea bag to water, but that doesn’t seem like it’s working out for you since you say that your urine is a dark yellowish color.
I’ll give a different scenario: can I just drink lemonade instead of water. Reason being is because the lemonade I make all I do is fill a pitcher up with water and add a packet of lemonade mix to it. Could I substitute this with water, no because I’m also consuming the contents that the lemonade packet adds to the water which is added sugar, sodium, and other substances that the body would break down and over time the body would accumulate toxins that the body wouldn’t be able to get rid of as well because I’m not consuming enough water, pure water with no added substances.
*Water tip: Drink at least 250ml (0.25L) for every 10kg (22lbs) you weigh.* It's a good general rule
If you weight 60-80kg (132-176lbs) then drink 1.5-2L (8 glasses)
Im not smart but thank yu
@@fanofalmosteverything4658 what about drinking half of your body weight in ounces?

I’m 130 and I drink 4L of more a day, my piss is completely identical to water. Pretty sure I’m fine
Water ( filtered never kitchen water) is my favourite drink and if I want to switch it up I have Redbush tea. I drink litres of water daily yet still I am chronicly dehydrated. I'd like a Gp appointment yet for the past 2 years it's been impossible. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge here. For warned is for armed. 🤝
I have the opposite situation i don’t drink much liquid at all but my pee is very clear
Very good information ❤️❤️
I like water Ice cold, not Luke warm. I live on water. Once in a while I drink iced tea to break the boredom.
I came home from a 6 mile bike ride and was extremely thirsty. I always drink water that is cool, not cold. I was so thirsty I couldn’t wait and took cold fridge water. I had a heart attack. Just sayin’
How about Lemon water??
Ice cold water is not good for the digestion.
@@estelleschneider9033 I’ve been adding it to my water every morning for the last week and a half. I love it!
I find that drinking beer 🍺 will flush your kidneys out I drink beer about six months to flush my kidneys out
Thanks I am in good standing with my Kidneys and Liver. Have a wonderful day.
Nice information
In a gym I used to train at it used to have a chart on the wall saying when your pee is to dark your to dehydrated to work out and to drink until it’s like straw I then realised why I kept feeling so tired and couldn’t get a good workout now I always make sure it’s like stars even if it means waiting!
Really interesting and helpful
WHY, WHY, do so many sites think it is cute to play obnoxious background music when we are supposed to be able to understand the person speaking? Clue in, the population is aging and even some of us who are not yet ancient have hearing issues. Hopefully this is a helpful video for someone but for me it just raises my crazy blood pressure. Have a good day, goodbye, and thanks for letting me vent.
Judi L. IKR? So many videos have music when, IMO it would be infinitely better to let the narrative take the sole important role.
Maybe someday, ppl who do video production will ‘get’ it. Take care 🤗
True. But I continued to watch hoping to learn something. I stopped when liver was displayed whilst kidneys were talked. Thumb down.
Turn on subtitles, it's not that difficult.
“So this is what piss looks like”
“Inspirational music blast”
@@secondchance6603 Great idea, thanks.
So glad you all are doing this I pray that iam the one to be blessed as the winner of this freeze dryer.
