I drink 4.5 to 6 liters of water every day, but my urine is still deep yellow. My liver function tests are all within the normal range. I am not dehydrated, but I am very concerned and confused. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Dark yellow urine despite high water intake with normal LFT may be due to diet (B vitamins, beetroot), supplements, or concentrated morning urine. It can also occur with high uric acid. If no burning, pain, or other symptoms, it is usually not serious. You can do a Urine Routine and Uric Acid test to rule out other causes. If persistent or with other symptoms, consult your doctor.

Hello Doctor. This is my urine test report. Is it normal? Please reply. I took the test because of mild burning sensation after urination for the past three months, lasting about one hour. What is abnormal in this? I am diabetic for six years and have high blood pressure.

I am experiencing a burning sensation while urinating and my urine appears yellow, two to three times a day. I have done this urine test three times, and the culture test is normal. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

In March, I got my urine tested, and it showed 10 to 13 RBCs per HPF. Sometimes I also face problems with IBS. In the past, I was diagnosed with UTI. During my pregnancy, there were consistently 5 to 6 RBCs in my urine reports. I had a C section delivery. Is the presence of RBCs in urine a matter of concern?
