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.

For the past two months, I have been needing to urinate every two hours and sometimes cannot control it. I do not have diabetes, and I have submitted my urine report. Please tell me what I should do.

My urine report shows glucose is negative and protein is negative. What does this mean? Is it normal? Please explain

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood sugar was around 342 (average of the last three months), and because of this, I have been having a burning sensation while urinating for the past two months. I have already started medications for blood sugar. As per my last check, my fasting blood sugar was 89, and the average of the last three months with medication is 250. Hence, the medicines are working, but I am not getting relief from the burning sensation. I am taking Neftas as suggested by my doctor, and I feel fine while on it, but after 3 to 4 days of stopping Neftas, the burning sensation returns. Please suggest what I am missing and why I am having this issue repeatedly?
