What Your Urine Color Says About Your Health

What it means: Possible liver disease, severe dehydration, or muscle breakdown. Possible causes: Liver conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis, severe dehydration, or rhabdomyolysis (a condition where muscle breakdown releases myoglobin into the bloodstream, potentially harming the kidneys) can lead to dark urine. What to do: If hydration doesn’t resolve it, seek medical attention immediately, especially if accompanied by jaundice or muscle pain.
7. Blue or Green Urine

What it means: Likely due to food dyes, medications, or rare genetic conditions. Possible causes: Certain medications (like amitriptyline, indomethacin, or propofol), food coloring, or rare metabolic disorders (such as familial hypercalcemia) can turn urine blue or green. What to do: If this is a one-time occurrence, it’s likely harmless. If persistent and unexplained, seek medical advice.
