Dark Urine
Typically, urine color ranges from pale yellow to dark amber. The color usually depends on the ratio of water to waste matters. Often, changes in the color of urine are harmless. However, the color difference could be a sign that a person has a health issue.
It could be due to dehydration. If the person refrains from drinking the recommended amount of water, they will not have enough water in the body. This could lead to dark urine and other conditions, such as thirst, dry lips and mouth, trouble swallowing dry food, weakness, or dizziness. In addition, it could make a person feel constipated or fatigued.
In most cases, water, herbal teas, and electrolytes can remedy the problem. However, there are health conditions where dark urine could signify a more serious problem. For example, if they feel lethargic, have a parched tongue and mouth, their pulse is weak or absent, or their blood pressure is very low, they should seek medical help immediately.
Further, dark urine could be a symptom of arsenic poisoning. Therefore, if an individual does not consume foods and medicines that are likely to make urine dark, it is best to see a doctor.
