What the Color of Your Pee Says About Your Health

If it’s orange

Your skin can turn orange if you eat too many carrots and so can your urine. Overdoing the rabbit food can deliver a massive dose of beta-carotene, which is then excreted in urine. The over the counter UTI treatment phenazopyridine (Pyridium) and the blood thinner warfarin can also result in orange urine. The good news is you know you’re taking these meds and a professional doctor will tell you ahead of time to expect color changes so that you avoid panic. If you see more of a neon or fluorescent orange, though, something could be up with your liver, especially if you notice a yellowish tint to the whites of your eyes. If that happens a doctor’s visit is in order.
