Is dark urine only a symptom of hepatitis C? Can it be cause by something less problematic?


Answers:
high fever can cause rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of muscle protein. The protein load will result in higher concentrations of BUN, creatinine and bilirubin, making a darker colored urine.Shake the urine in a closed container. If the foam is yellow, its likely bilirubin is the cause. If the foam is clear, its one of the other or several dissolved metabolic byproducts.
Dark urine is easily caused by lack of water. Try drinking more before you start to worry
Most often it is due to lack of water. Try drinking more.For fun try taking vitamin B and then look at your urine. It goes bright fluro yellow :D
dark urine usually just means that it has a lower concentration of water. this just means that you haven't been drinking enough water so your body is retaining from urine so that it can be used elsewhere for more important matters. that actually means that you just have less excess water in you. urine is the body's way of disposing of excess water, less of it in urine just means that there was less of an excess in the body. however there should be a fair amount of excess so you should be drinking moe water, but it isn't really serious. unless this isn't the cause and it is something else which happens to be serious. without any other symptoms though or any other reason to belive that you have hep c, it is probably just light dehydration.
I've heard the same. Mild dehydration. Drink more water (not soda which can deplete fluids). Pee should be a light, pale yellow.
yes you are dehydrated drink water. not juice, tea or coffe. water. the rest will just dehydrate you more. you should drink at least 8 cups of WATER a day on top of all the other liquids you consume
You sound like you are dehydrated. Drink lots of water and if Hep C is a concern call your doc.
I USE TO DRINK POPS ALL THE TIME AND VERY LITTLE WATER AND MY URINE WAS DARK.DRINK LOTS OF WATER WILL CHANGE IT BACK TO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE. REMEMBER LOOOOOOTSSSSS OF WATER..
Dark urine is usually the result of dehydration, but it can also be caused by things you eat, such as vitamins. Vitamin A especially. It can also be caused by certain drugs, such as anti-biotics (penicillin) and some other drugs such as Retin-A, which is a synthetic form of vitamin A used for treating acne. If your urine is dark and you feel fine otherwise, just drink more water. If if doesn't lighten up within a day or two and you've been drinking sufficient fluids, it could be a sign of something else.
urine sometiems is darker when you haven't drank much water in day.or sometimes when you have a lot of sugar in a day..just drink more water, less soda, and it should resolve itself, if not, then a trip to the good old doctors office would be a good idea.
dehydration.drink some more water..if piece of mind is on the agenda..next time you go to the docs..take a pee sample (midstream)
