Hello,

Thanks for writing in.
Normally urine is pale yellow in color due to presence of pigment urochrome.If there is increased yellowness in urine then it is a sign that you have not been drinking enough liquids.If even after taking adequate fluids,urine is yellow in color,it may be due to liver problems,bile pigments and a tryptophan absorption defect may lead to production of indigotin, an oxidative product.

I sincerely advise you to consult a physician and get your complete urine examination and liver function tests done.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
