摘要

Depending on its concentration, the physiological colour of urine ranges from light yellow to orange. There are numerous diseases and medications that can provoke cloudiness or discolouration. Red discolouration of urine in particular can be indicative of serious underlying conditions that require further investigation. Detection of blood via urine dipstick testing can be beneficial in the differential diagnosis, but is prone to error. Other changes in urine colour are often caused by medications. Severe illnesses are rare, but should be taken into consideration, especially if there are concomitant symptoms.
