Urine is a liquid, why is it divided into yellow and white?

The normal urine color of human body is transparent light yellow. If it is colorless, it means that there is enough water, or even a little more. If it is yellow, it means that the amount of drinking water is insufficient and it is necessary to increase the amount of drinking water; If the urine is dark yellow or dark brown, it is more common in dehydration, liver or gallbladder lesions.

When urine turns white, we should also pay attention. White urine generally refers to chyluria, and its appearance looks milky white. This is mainly because the urine is mixed with lymph or chylous fluid, which is mostly caused by the obstruction of lymphatic reflux of urinary system. Some chyluria may also be caused by filariasis, pyuria or bacteriuria, and it is more likely to be peritoneal tuberculosis, tumor, thoracic and abdominal trauma or surgery, congenital lymphatic malformation and nephrotic syndrome.

(1) is affected by water consumption.

As mentioned above, the amount of drinking water will determine the color of urine, because water is the most abundant component in the human body, and the source and discharge of water are in a dynamic balance every day. Therefore, the amount of drinking water will determine the amount of discharge and the color of urine.

(2) Affected by diseases

Water in the body is mainly discharged from the kidney, and urine comes from the glomerulus of the kidney. Through the collection system such as renal tubules, any disease of any organ will affect the color of urine from the source to excretion.

(3) Affected by weather temperature and humidity.

Generally, in summer, the weather is high and the temperature is high. Body heat and sweating will take away some water, and the water in the body will lose quickly, so it is necessary to increase the amount of water supplement. If the source of water to be replenished is lower than the discharge, urine will turn yellow, or in a word, the body will be short of water. On the contrary, in winter, the weather is cold, the temperature is low, and the water output of the body is low, so as long as the basic water source of the body is met, it is generally not easy to lack water, so the color of urine is usually normal, unless you seldom drink water and don't like drinking water.

In short, for normal people, the amount of drinking water is closely related to the color of urine. Drinking enough water every day can maintain the normal balance of water in the body. Except endogenous water and water contained in food, the daily pure drinking water consumption is 1500- 1700ml.
