What are the causes of yellow urine?

In daily life, if we find that our urine is yellow, we may think that it is caused by getting a fever, and drinking some heat-reducing tea or mung bean soup will help. In fact, yellow urine may be caused by many reasons, such as food, medicine, etc. Yellow urine cannot be ignored. The severity of yellow urine indicates that a part of your body has been damaged, so you must pay attention to it.

Normal urine is light yellow in color, but the color of urine will also change due to factors such as diet. The more alkaline foods you consume, the lighter the urine color will be, and vice versa. What are the causes of yellow urine? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

Physiological reasons: Food also affects the yellow urine. If the urine is dark yellow, it may be due to eating a lot of carrots, papaya and other foods, or Chinese medicine rhubarb, vitamins and other medicines. At this time, the urine will turn dark yellow, and it will return to normal as long as you stop eating. Drinking less water is also one of the reasons for yellow urine. The light yellow urine is because it contains a yellow urochrome. If you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome in your urine will be high and the color will appear yellow.

Pathological reasons: Certain diseases can also cause yellow urine. For example, patients with acute fever or vomiting and diarrhea will lose water through sweat or feces, so the urine will become concentrated and yellow. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, bile will be discharged from the urethra, making the urine dark yellow; the urine of hepatitis patients will also be the color of strong tea. In addition, when the urinary organs become purulent, yellow turbid pyuria will also be discharged. Insufficient kidney qi and kidney deficiency can also cause yellow urine. In addition, yellow turbid pyuria is a manifestation of suppuration of the urinary organs.

The above is an introduction to the causes of yellow urine. In life, you must drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables, especially in summer. You must do a good job of preventing heatstroke and drink more fire-reducing tea or beverages to prevent the occurrence of yellow urine. If the yellow urine is serious, you must go to a regular hospital for examination to achieve early detection and early treatment, and strive to be a healthy person.
