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.

I have attached my urine report. One doctor advised me to take Uribid 100 mg twice a day. I am currently on day 25 after COVID, with a temperature around 99.2F. My CRP is 0.1, CBC is normal, and D dimer is 90. Based on my urine report, could you please advise if I need to take Uribid 100 mg twice daily?
