Colorless urine

What your urine is telling you about your health?A trip to the toilet may be more revealing than you think.Normal urine is pale yellow or straw-yellow in color.If your urine is as colorless as water, well, that's probably because you've been drinking a lot of water.And besides the inconvenience of going to the bathroom many times a day because your bladder is filling up with fluid faster.And urine may have a variety of other colors, however, including dark yellow, orange, pink, red, green, blue, brown and even black.If your urine has a brownish, iced tea-colored tinge, that could be a sign that you are dehydrated and the kidney is producing more concentrated (as opposed to diluted) urine.
Colorless Urine.Large amounts of colorless urine may be a symptom of diabetes insipidus, which is not the same condition as diabetes mellitus.In diabetes mellitus (which is commonly broken down into Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes) a person doesn't make enough insulin, or their cells don't respond to insulin properly.
Bright yellow Urine.Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is yellow in color.Bright yellow Urine that looks nearly neon-colored may seem somewhat alarming, but the cause is most likely nothing more sinister than your daily multivitamin pill.If we eat more riboflavin than we need – which sometime happens when we take Vitamin B2 supplements – the excess riboflavin enters the urine and gives it a fluorescent yellow or neon yellow appearance.

Porphyria and Urine Color.A spot of blood Seeing a splash of red in the toilet can mean many things—some quite benign, others quite serious.Porphyria is caused by a genetic problem.The illness develops when someone lacks a specific enzyme or enzymes involved in the production of heme, the red, iron-containing part of the hemoglobin molecule.In people with porphyria one or more of the enzymes involved in heme production are missing.The precursors may build up in the body and reach a toxic level.There are at least eight types of porphyria.Some types affect the skin, causing blisters, swelling and itching when the skin is exposed to sunlight.Other forms affect the internal organs, nervous system and brain, causing symptoms such as pain, cramping, vomiting, numbness, paralysis, personality changes and mental disorders.Sometimes the disorder is inactive, and only becomes active when a person is exposed to a stress of some kind.
