If a person wants the normal operation of various organs and tissues of the body, there are only two words that cannot be separated: hydration!
Usually, a healthy adult should only drink about 1500-2000ml of water per day, while other foods will also properly hydrate the body.
However, this water is not fully utilized by the body, most of them actually enter the kidneys, filter the blood through the kidneys, and complete the work of urine production.
According to the normal amount of water, the total number of daily urination in adults is about 4-6 times.
In the urine, 95% is water, and the rest are metabolic waste and urine pigments, which is the main reason why the urine shows a yellowish and transparent color.
If the urine is recently yellowed and darkened, it may be related to the following factors:
1, physiological factors: urine color is not set in stone, it will change with people's food and water intake.
For example, the recent drinking of water is very small, the weather is hot and sweaty, which will lead to lack of water in the body, the original urine generated by the kidneys after filtering the blood is not much, and the color of the urine will be deepened after it is concentrated in the body.
In addition, holding urine for a long time, eating a lot of foods containing yellow pigments, taking some drugs, etc., may change the color of urine, but this will not affect health;
2. Hepatobiliary disease: The reason why urine is yellowish is because it contains a small amount of urine pigment. This substance is a substance that is a normal urine pigment component that is composed together with urine choleline.
If people have recently excreted yellow-brown urine under normal drinking water, it looks like strong tea, which is often a signal of abnormal bilirubin metabolism.
Since bilirubin needs to be metabolized in the liver, it is the main pigment of bile. Therefore, the appearance of strong brown urine in adults is often a signal of the arrival of hepatobiliary diseases, such as acute jaundice hepatitis, hepatobiliary carcinogenesis, cirrhosis, etc., which may be combined with jaundice;
3, kidney disease: as mentioned at the beginning of the article, the human body generates urine metabolism, mainly relying on kidney tissue.
In the renal tissue, the glomeruli are responsible for filtration, and the renal tubules are responsible for concentration. If the renal interstitium or parenchyma is damaged, urine filtration and concentration are affected, resulting in the production of large amounts of impurities in the urine.
In the case of severe damage to kidney tissue, patients will also have problems such as urinary retention and oliguria, and the color of the urine will not only deepen, but also be accompanied by an unpleasant odor. For example, pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, kidney failure, etc., may be combined with yellowing of urine, odor and other problems;
4. Urinary system diseases: In addition to kidney damage, if the patient has a urinary system infection, such as cystitis, urinary tract infection, urethritis, etc., it will be accompanied by frequent urinary urgency, painful urination, yellowing and odor of urine and other symptoms.
In addition, if a man has prostatitis, it may also change the nature of urination, especially after prostatitis and acute urinary retention, the patient will not only have difficulty urinating, but also accompanied by urine yellowing, urine odor and other problems.
All in all, there are many reasons for yellowing of urine in life, and everyone should first consider it from a physiological point of view to see if it is related to drinking water, diet, medication and so on.
After eliminating these factors, the symptoms of yellowing of the urine are still not improved, or accompanied by other symptoms, especially the emergence of urgency and pain of urination, which is likely to be a signal of the arrival of the disease, everyone should be vigilant, and timely seek medical attention to find out the cause.
