very yellow /orange urine

[paranoiddan]

hi, im 22. My wee is very yellow/orange all day, like morning wee is, but its all day. i was just wondering if to much coffee can be to blame? when i say to much coffee i mean 8-10 mugs and each mug has 2 heaped teaspoons of instant coffee, i dont even know if this is a large amount or to much?? Thanks to anyone who replys, also im sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this type of question. Dan

Thanks for this comment, Doctor.  My husband has been drinking water and no change.  I told him he needs to see a doctor but, reading your comment confirms to me that it is necessary.  Thank you.

Hello,
Normally urine is colorless or pale yellow in color. If you are having dark yellow to orange urine, then it can be due to many causes. It can be due to dehydration and less intake of fluids, hematuria (blood in urine), biliary tract obstruction, hemolytic anemia, liver diseases such as hepatitis and taking of some medications.
If the darkness of urine remains even after increasing your fluid intake, then these causes need to be investigated. Investigations like complete urine examination, liver function tests and ultrasound abdomen along with a physician’s consultation are required.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
