What Causes Urine Yellow In Color Inspite Of Drinking Lots Of Water?

hi, for the past week i have been drinking alot of water maybe 10-12 glasses a day at least and my pee is still a bright yellow and sometimes darker yellow, and i havent been eating a whole lot either because i have been sick and at one point i couldnt hold food down for about 2 days, is this all just because im sick or is a possible health risk?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The most common reason for yellow urine with general sickness and lack of appetite are possible liver inflammation of some sort.

I strongly recommend to take a urine microscopy examination and evaluate the presence of bile pigments in the urine for further management guidelines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
