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.

@@hahahahehehehe2555... Not a lie - I can confirm it! Whenever it is really hot outside and I haven't been drinking enough water, I go into low sugar mode in the blink of an eye. This was different when I was younger and a size 6 instead of 16.

@UCkS0YuslyQgAYPhwvMrnj4w look at 1:11
I was about to comment it
Yeah wtf
Here I am skipping this video after seen your comment, oh well lol
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.

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 sharing this because I needed to know this vital information .
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.

Anytime my pee darkens in color or has a yellowish tinge, I find 10-12 beers usually clears it right up. 57yrs and the diagnosis has never failed me. Consistency for the win!
Lmfao
Wait till you get a 6th toe
solid, evidence based info. good video!
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!!!
Did you have any symptoms
@@nadiaparveen7710 No symptoms that I could see other than urine 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 😏

Had one kidney removed due to cancer.
Renal specialist advice : TWO litres water daily plus One litre other fluids.

Does your own urine count as the one litre of other fluids?

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.
Same here...is it normal?
@@priyankapriyadarshanidas1472 yep. Pretty sure everyone has it
@@priyankapriyadarshanidas1472 yeah
Very normal
@@priyankapriyadarshanidas1472 Yes, the only real way to avoid it is to sleep for shorter periods of time, so that you're not going so long without drinking. It's especially common in areas where the temperature at night is still quite warm, or you've got very dry air.
Thanks for the very informative and helpful information 🤔🙏
So that explains my sugar cravings.. I've been noticing myself constantly opening the fridge hoping it's stocked with sweets and actually just leave me with left overs, ice and cold water..
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.
My pee has been crystal clear most of the time for years. Never knew i needed to cut back on the water.
This is so important to know!
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

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.
Bull shit
O dang
SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR GRANDFATHER PASSING. WHAT A TRAGEDY HE DIDN'T KNOW HE HIMSELF HAD A HEALTH PROBLEM, DUE TO HIM BEING COLOR BLINDNESS, THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW.
THANKS FOR SHARING.
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.

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).
when you are older with bph, you are so happy that something comes out that the color isn't important.
Thanks 😊 that was very informative
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

The secret recipe has been discovered
Thank you for sharing this very important information.
TMI probably, only things i usually drink is water, beer. Occasionally juice. Mine in the morning is very dark yellow, but as the day goes by its usually the "goldilocks" color. If im very stressed sometimes it is pink. I drink everynight for sleep, not to just get fucked up. In the daytimes at work ill usually drink a gallon of water over an 8 hour span. I know drinking isn't good for the organs and body. BUT, if im going through a gallon of water a day, regardless of drinking alot everynight (i have a VERY HIGH tolerance to alcohol) is it still bad? The end of the night its still that slight clear yellow.
As someone with a liver transplant- checking my Pee colour is the difference between life and death. The last time I noticed it was darker than normal, my new liver was getting rejected.
I'm sorry to hear that. I wish and hope the best for you.
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.
lol get wrecked
@@gregoireansari6651 I can tell you're below the age of 10.
Very informative thanks for sharing. More to go
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)
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.
Thanks for sharing, valuable information

Other than a life threatening heart condition called HOCM I suffer from diabetes-t2 and neuropathy. I take prescription medication including diuretics to hell shed fluids accumulated in my heart and lower legs/feet.My target weight is 90kg, but i can only keep it stable at 100-103 kg before i struggle with weight gain. Judging my hydration level by looking at my urine colour is problematic.
Mornings around 07.00am the colour is usually dark tea. Noon time 12.00am the colour is typically dark yellow. The colour by dinner time 19.00pm is very pale yellow or white. Bedtime is typically 12.00 pm midnight and the colour is normally golden yellow. Great right?
I drink 4-6 x 500ml bottles of still water per day to keep hydration levels up, but I often wake up during the night with a terribly dry mouth and palate. Increasing the water/fluid intake makes no discernable difference. How come?
Mines usually normal, but right before bed it's often clear, and most times in the mornings, it'll be pretty dark.
Same here. If I drink lots of water the night before its normal colour but usually I just drink a glass of water when I wake up and it balances out.

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.
