Why is my pee yellow or clear?

The yellow is from the breakdown of old blood cells.  It is a compound called urobilirubin and your kidneys pee it out.  If your urine is clear, it is not necessarily a sign that you are well hydrated, but a sign that there is not much urobilirubin in the urine.  Most of the time it's because the urine is dilute by a lot of water, though.

Bilirubin gives the urine its yellowish tint. Bilirubin is a by product of red blood cell breakdown. The more concentrated the urine, the darker it is.

See your doctor. Could be a urinary tract infection, STD or a number of things. Go right away, so they can clear it up.

There is a breakdown product of hemoglobin (a major component of red blood cells) called bilirubin.  Bilirubin is eliminated through urination and defecation but it breaks down into the other products.  One of the products is yellow (so that's y pee is yellow)....the other product is brown (and that's y poop is brown)

As others have mentioned, one cause is dehydration or simply not drinking enough water. If you drink a lot of water, your urine will tend to be pale yellow. If you take a lot of vitamin C, it will be dark yellow because excess vitamin C is eliminated from your system.\n\nHowever, there may be other reasons for dark amber urine. Try drinking a few glasses of water. Don't drink too much, but a couple of bottles of water should be fine. If your urine becomes lighter, then it's probable that you simply didn't have enough clear fluid in your system.\n\nIf the urine remains dark amber, and/or if you have other symptoms, like pain or a burning sensation when you urinate, pain or tightness in your stomach, aches in your back where your kidneys are located, etc., you should see a doctor.\n\nDark amber urine may also mean you have some blood in your urine. If you think this is the case, you should definitely see a doctor.

8-10 cups per day. However, if you are overweight, exercising, in a hot climate, etc, that number goes up.\n\nA better way to tell if you are properly hydrated is to look at the color of your urine. It should be almost clear. If it is dark yellow, drink more water.

Could be a simple urinary tract infection (most likely), but it could aslo be a more serious infection such as chlamydia.  In either case you would need antibiotcs to clear it, otherwise it can develop into a very dangerous infection as it moves up the urethra, such as a kidney infection, which can ultimately be fatal.  See a doctor right away.

Could be as simple as a bladder infection.  Do you need to urinate often?  Is the urine discolored?\n\nOr it could be something much more serious.  Check with your doctor.

Generally, the darker yellow the more concentrated the urine and you need to drink more liquids to keep the color clear or light yellowcolored. It is better for your kidneys to drink lots of fluids to keep the urine less concentrated.  Some things you eat or drink can also affect the urine color such as asparagus I've heard can turn it green.

Did you recently get treatment for a urinary tract infection?  Some of the drugs they give you for that turn your urine bright orange -- and it is easy to think that the fluid is comin from your vagina.

That has nothing to do with it. You have a Urinary Tract Infection. See your doctor for antibiotics. I also suggest you drink a whole lot of water and or cranberry juice to help flush things out. Avoid caffeine for a day while you do this.

It will come, development varies for everyone. Having your period has nothing to do with the color of your pee. Wondering about yourself is a sign of maturity, little children don't wonder about the changes they go through. So you have at least one sign! One day you'll have some cramps and then you'll see some spotting on your underwear, then you'll be bleeding like the rest of the mature women.

Generally speaking when your urine is dark you either have a UTI or are dehydrated, although this isn't always true.  Certain vitamins can give your urine a dark appearance also.  The clearer your urine the fewer toxins/wastes being excreted.  This could be due to drinking tons of water (not too much, can kill you if you drink too much) or just not having many toxins/wastes to eliminate from your body.

The color of pee is caused by bile, a chemical the liver produces to break up fat. When our bodies break down bile, the pigment urochrome turns pee yellow. The lighter the color, the more liquid has watered it down. \n\nIn fact, you can easily determine if you're dehydrated from the color of your urine. Dark yellow is a symptom of moderate dehydration and is a sign that you should drink fluids right away. However, taking vitamin supplements can also cause pee to appear yellow. \n\nBelieve it or not, urine's yellow color was once believed to come from gold. Long ago, alchemists attempted to extract gold from pee. Needless to say, they were unsuccessful. However, in 1669, an alchemist named Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus while engaged in the undertaking. Among other things, this find helped to spark the creation of matches. \n\nYou may have asked this question lightheartedly, but for hikers and parents of small children, understanding the significance is important for health and safety.
