Urine is suddenly dark, as if I'm dehydrated. Had been clear routinely about 5 days ago. No offensive smell.
Daily intake is usually 3100 ml
250ml water for AM med taking
300ml green tea w/a touch of honey
250ml soda
500ml water
500ml water
500ml iced tea unsweet
300ml hot water w/a touch of honey
500ml for PM med taking
*500ml avail if I need it over night*
Output is acceptable based on input. No changes in diet or medications.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
Do you have an increase in bladder spasms or spasms as a whole? Any symptoms of a uti? Change in medications? Is your bowel program staying regulated? Sorry for the questions. It may help to explain the change.

No to all, that is what is so strange. I see my urologist next week for a cath change, I will have him do a ua\culture.
Also no signs of bleeding.
Thanks
Another question...what do you mean by dark? brown, deep yellow, or maroon?
on the dark yellow - which is what I see when I know I have not had enough fluids.
definitely NOT maroon - which I would compare to after I have had stone ablation - hints of blood.
Nothing has changed diet, medication, bowel, aroma etc etc - no chills or sweats or spasms
Just really strange since it had been running remarkably clear about 5 days ago
Have you been retaining water in your legs and feet? Sometimes, even though I have been drinking as I normally do, if my feet are swollen, usually due to hot weather or who knows why your feet swell more sometimes than others, I will have darker yellow (concentrated color) urine than usual.
No more swollen then they normally are.
Thanks for the suggestion tho
