What Causes Dark Yellow Colored Urine?
I have recently noted that my urine is particularly dark yellow in colour. I had a cholecystectomy in 1980. I am now 75. What is now happening to my bile since it cannot escape from the biliary tree via the intestine? Is it likely that excess bilirubin is being excreted through urine now?
