Urination in everyone's view, is the body's metabolism of the waste, it emits a bad smell of urine, has no use value for the human body. Therefore, after urinating, many people will not observe it, and directly press the flush button.
But what you don't know is that urination is also known as a "health barometer" in the clinic, which can reflect some of the potential diseases of the body!
This is the case because it is generated from the small urination to the discharge, and it goes through the operation of multiple organs. The urine of a healthy adult should be yellowish and transparent, without special odor.
If the urine is yellow by chance, it is mostly related to the small amount of water consumed on the day, diet, etc., and after resuming drinking water and changing the diet, the yellow urine will gradually ease.
However, if the symptoms of yellowing of urine have occurred frequently recently, no matter how to drink water, it cannot be alleviated, which is often a signal of the arrival of the disease.
For example, when the following four diseases come to you, the urine can show an abnormal dark yellow color:
1. Urinary system diseases: urine formation and discharge, mainly relying on organ tissues such as kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. When the urinary system appears sick, it will affect the color and smell of urine.
For example, patients with acute and chronic cystitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis and other diseases, in the process of urination, there may be problems such as yellowing of urine color and odor.
Some patients may also be accompanied by urinary tract irritation, such as urinary frequency and urgency, incomplete urination, dysuria, etc.;
2. Liver disease: Although the liver is not directly involved in the production of urine, it is an important body metabolism and detoxification organ.
The toxin "bilirubin", produced inside the body, needs to enter the liver for metabolism and participate in the production of bile.
When there is a disease in the liver, such as acute hepatitis, cirrhosis or cancer, it will affect the uptake and metabolism of bilirubin and the excretion of bile.
Causing a large amount of bilirubin to accumulate in the blood and filtering into the urine by the kidneys, the color of the patient's urine changes as a result, and even shows the color of strong tea;
3. Gastrointestinal infectious diseases: When the gastrointestinal tract is infected by pathogens, patients can have multiple acute gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, etc., which will cause a large loss of water in the body.
The kidneys filter out less water, the urine is naturally concentrated, the color becomes more and more yellow, and in severe cases, the patient can even become dehydrated.
In addition to gastrointestinal infections, after infectious diseases in other organs and causing fever, the urine will also appear to be more colored;
4, pancreatic lesions: the pancreas this organ, in fact, is the human body's digestive glands, its exocrine is responsible for auxiliary nutrient absorption, endocrine is to balance blood sugar.
If the patient has pancreatic cancer, especially after suffering from pancreatic head cancer, because the position of the pancreatic head is close to the bile duct, once the pancreatic head compresses or violates the common bile duct, it will lead to obstructive cholestasis, and then develop hyperbilirubinemia, jaundice, the patient can have symptoms such as dark yellow urine and clay color of stool.
Finally, we should also remind everyone that yellowing of urine is not necessarily a signal of the arrival of disease, and the occurrence of yellow urine must first find the cause from diet, drinking water and medication.
After excluding these factors, persistent yellowing of urine, or yellowing of urine with other symptoms, may be a manifestation of the arrival of the disease, and patients need to be vigilant and seek medical attention in time for screening.
