Colorless urine - health problems?

The urine of a completely healthy person usually has a straw-yellow color. Therefore, colorless urine is an occasion to think about your health. The color of this biological fluid depends on a number of factors, such as, for example, the presence of special substances (urobilin, hematoprofyrin and others). During the day, its color changes, depending on the density, volume, and components that color the urine in a different color. These components come to our body with food, medicine and vitamin complexes, for example, you ate beetroot - in the morning you will have a pinkish urine. When we go to the toilet in the morning, we usually notice that the urine is bright yellow - this is because it is very concentrated. During the night, the kidneys withdrew all unnecessary substances that accumulated in the morning urine. Therefore morning tests are the most accurate.

When does urine change color?

• In the event that a person has liver or gall bladder disease, the urine becomes a color similar to that of brewed tea;
• With a disease like glomerulonephritis, it becomes reddish, although if you ate carrots or beets in the evening, urine will also have a pinkish tinge;
• Colorless urine   Appears after a person drank a lot of fluids during the day. Although if it is such a constant - an excuse to wonder whether you have checked your kidneys for a long time;
• Muddy with flakes of urine occurs when the urinary system is inflamed, for example, with infection;
• Urine with foam is only in men, in principle, there is nothing wrong with this, since this indicates that sperm have entered the urinary tract.

Colorless urine does not mean that you are sick. Although this is the first sign of such pathologies as sugar and diabetes insipidus, nephritis, chlorosis, nephrosclerosis and others. With certainty it can be said that the color of urine is not an indicator of a malaise. The doctor judges the presence of the disease after various studies of this biological fluid.

The structure of a child's body has its own characteristics, so what is the norm for an adult is absolutely not the norm for a child. Colorless urine in a child is not always the norm. Baby kidneys differ in their anatomical structure from adult organs, because after the baby was born, its kidneys will develop for several more years. Therefore, changes in the color of children's urine should be monitored continuously. In a newborn baby, the color of urine is very pale because it is very little concentrated, since the baby does not yet consume any foods other than breast milk. Over time, urine acquires a normal light straw color, and with a large amount of consumed liquid, it becomes more light. First of all parents should be alerted to the change in the color of the child's urine, if she suddenly becomes pale and almost colorless - the child must be led to the doctor. This symptom indicates that the baby has a suspicion of diabetes mellitus or, even more unpleasantly, a malfunction of the kidneys.

When to the doctor?

If you decide that the baby is sick or there are other strange symptoms, for example, a colorless urine in a child, the first step is to consult a district pediatrician. In the future, the doctor, assessing the condition of the child and looking at the results of laboratory research, will send to the doctor a narrow specialization - urologist, gynecologist, nephrologist and so on. The main thing is to diagnose the disease in time - the attention of parents. If you watch your health and your child's health, you do not have to wonder why urine is colorless. Knowing that this is a dangerous symptom, you immediately consult a doctor, and the negative consequences of the disease can be prevented on time. Therefore, for any deviation, go urgently to a specialist!
