I'm just curious here in saying this but when you pee and you somtimes have coloured wee theres usally cause like eating too much beetroot makes youre wee red and so on.

But what does it mean if you're pee is orange?


it means you are badly dehydrated if your piss is yellow / orange

pur-lease no ******** about beetroot or having some servere medical condition, it's highly annoying and just shows a lack of understanding!

basically, if you drink enough water your water is clear because your kidneys do not have to reabsorb water

whereas if you don't drink enough water, your body produces the hormone ADH, this causes more water to be reabsorbed by the tubules in the kidney and so you are left with a much higher concentration of salts in the urine. THIS is why the colour of urine changes.

Moral of the story, drink more water - coke and fizzy drinks dehydrate, btw, - so try to drink water.

I'll say that it's not impossible but it is highly unlikely... heard of the sunny delight girls that drunk so much it turned her orange, but understand that it is very rare and requires tons of the stuff!



If you have red urine it is much more likely to be blood in the urine than because of eating tonns of beetroot!



If you have yellow / orange urine it's much more likely to be just dehydration rather than a rare medical illenss or too much of a certain food.
