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.

Ya all lost me when you talked about kidneys and then showed an image of the liver.

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!!!

Light yellow: maybe a little overhydrated

Literally coming back from the ER with the last color from the thumbnail. I need to rethink my life

[lunanote-cassettemeower]

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.

1:10 "a compound that is excreted by your kidneys" then shows the liver highlighted on the graphic. Big brain moment.

[Soyana]

Light yellow = You're ok
Yellow = u can drink if u want to
Dark yellow = bitch drink plz
White = oi stop mate too much now
Red = go see a doctor bruh

My pee has been crystal clear most of the time for years. Never knew i needed to cut back on the water.

[melissawingfield]

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.

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.

This helped my younger sister tell she was dehydrated.Thanks for sharing this video to the world

[nancy]

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

"If you're pee color is dark brown? Ask yourself"

I will never look at the color swabs at a paint store the same again

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.

I don’t think that is rare
