Overview

Dark urine is deeper in color than urine that is usually straw to yellow in color. Darker urine can be different colors, but is usually brown, deep yellow, or maroon.

Urine is produced in the kidneys. When you take in fluid or food, it passes from your消化系统, into yourcirculatory system，并进入肾脏过滤的肾脏。然后肾脏通过尿液摆脱废物和额外的液体。

输尿管是连接的管肾脏to thebladder。The bladder empties the urine via the urethra, the tube you urinate through.

Ideally, your urine would be a pale yellow in color. This would indicate you’re hydrated. Urine naturally has some yellow pigments called urobilin or urochrome. The darker urine is, the more concentrated it tends to be.

暗尿液是最常见的dehydration。然而，它可能是一种指标，其过度，不寻常或潜在的危险废物在体内循环。例如，由于尿液中胆汁存在，深褐尿剂可能表明肝脏疾病。

Bloody, or reddish-colored, urine，表明其他潜在问题，包括直接伤害肾脏。如果您有这些症状，那么看医生很重要。

Conditions associated with dark urine include:

过量或过于剧烈的运动也可以有助于暗尿液。激烈的运动会导致肌肉损伤导致您的身体释放过量的废物。结果可以是尿粉或可乐色的尿液。

有时很难区分tween dark urine due to dehydration or due to other causes. Dark urine due to dehydration is usually amber or honey-colored.

由于其他原因导致的暗尿可以用棕色或红色刺痛。有些人患有几乎糖浆的尿液。当一个人有肝脏或肾脏疾病时就是这种情况。

If you’re dehydrated, you can have additional symptoms besides dark urine. Examples include:

如果你喝额外的水，你的尿液变得更轻，你可以告诉脱水是你暗尿的原因。

有时暗尿液与水合或整体健康有任何关系。相反，它与你吃的东西或喝的东西或你所采取的药物有关。

如果你的尿液是黑暗的，请思考你吃的东西。如果你有甜菜，浆果，大黄或小豆子，这些都可以让你的尿液出现黑暗。

一些药物会导致暗尿液。通常，您的医生会事先让您知道这是一个可能的副作用。已知这样做的药物的一些例子包括：

  • 塞纳的泻药
  • 化疗药物
  • rifampin
  • warfarin (Coumadin)
  • phenazopyridine

如果你在尿液中看到血液或经历饮用水后不会消失的暗尿液，你应该寻求医疗注意。知道您症状的确切原因非常重要。

如果你有暗尿液伴随着强烈的疼痛，特别是在你的背上，你可能有肾结石或一个urinary tract infection (UTI)。

If you can’t see your doctor right away or if the pain and any other symptoms get worse or are accompanied by恶心,vomiting和A.high fever, seek immediate medical attention.

如果您正在经历染色尿液，不会因脱水而导致或副作用，您将需要通过医生进行全面的评估。他们需要你的详细病史，你需要体检和urinalysis。

尿症涉及至少进行两盎司的尿液样本。实验室将测试尿液是否存在几件事，这可能表明存在潜在的医疗状况。例子包括：

  • 细菌
  • bilirubin
  • crystals
  • glucose
  • protein
  • 红细胞
  • 白血细胞

实验室将根据三个组件提供报告。

  • 如果尿液清晰，多云和集中，则会阅读视觉考试，以及其颜色。
  • Chemical tests include information about bilirubin, blood,ketones, proteins, and glucose.
  • 用于细菌存在的微观检查试验。

Ideally, the urine sample will come from the first urine you produce in the morning. This urine is most likely to show abnormalities if there are any because it is more concentrated than other urine you produce over the day.

If your urinalysis reveals unusual results, your doctor may order more targeted tests. These tests may include blood testing or a urine culture, which attempt to identify the type of bacteria in your urine.

Also, a完全血统（CBC）或全面的代谢面板可以帮助您的医生确定您的肾脏或肝功能是否受到损害。

Treatment will depend on your medical history, symptoms, and the results of any laboratory studies and other diagnostic tests.

If your urine color is due to medicines you take, you should continue taking them based on your results. Always talk to your doctor if you are concerned about your urine color in relation to the medicines you take. You can also avoid foods known to cause dark urine.

If your dark urine is due to insufficient fluid intake, you should start drinking more water. You should ideally pass at least3 cups尿液每天和任何地方无效四到六次。

醒来后尝试喝一杯额外的水。您可以购买一个大容器来握住水并始终保持它，以确保保持水分。但是，如果你的尿液如此苍白，这几乎清晰，这可能是你喝太多水的标志。

Any change in the color of the urine not due to eating certain foods or taking certain medications should be reported to your doctor. And contact your doctor immediately is you see blood in your urine.
