Dehydration Sign #1: Dark Pee
Urine is the liquid by-product of animals and humans. It contains many by-products such as nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, and urea, among others. Urination is a means for the body to expel these by-products. In normal situations, most urine is a light straw color.
However, when dehydration occurs, the urine becomes concentrated and the urine color appears dark. It is important to note changes in urine color as it can be caused by side effects such as medication and hematuria.
