Urine testing's great diagnostics





Peeing in a cup for medical examination is a lot easier than having blood sucked out from our veins, grimacing at our life's liquid flowing into a tiny tube. So, why not use wastes to identify our internal problems?

Introducing (Drumroll) URINE!!

Different colors mean different diagnosis.

If there is a redness, caused by blood, you have BLADDER INFECTION.

Orange or brown indicates Jaundice or Gilbert's syndrome.

Light orange - lack of vitamin B, so go buy bottles and bottles of vit. B pills

A Pinkish tint- possibly from eating too much watermelon. Usually harmless.

Black/really dark colored tint - Melanoma. A BIG indicator!! Black urine is very very dangerous!

Clear Urine - healthy urine

Reddish brown urine - poryphyria

Dark Yellow - dehydration

Fluroescent yellow/ green - too much vitamins.

Who knew urine had THAT many colors?

well, now you know. :D
