Not drinking enough water…

Mine was when I needed my gallbladder out

Dehydration , i had the same thing last week after a UTI

Dehydrated and a possibility of lung infection

Liver function makes it pink, kidney function will show brown urine. See a doctor asap, likely a uti.

Blood in urine gives it a brown colour like cardboard colour

Start drinking lots of water

Bloody loss…see dr immediately :disappointed::roll_eyes::pray:

Are you taking iron tablets?

Sounds like something with the liver or kidneys. Otherwise I’d say severe dehydration.

Not drinking enough water

Drink water !! When I’ve been dehydrated I get kidney stones.

UTI, Dehydration, kidney infection

I’d call the doc office or a nurses line. Medical questions are best suited for professionals as they can access your medical history and previous lab work.

Could be blood present in the urine. Mine will look like Coke when I’m passing a kidney stone

Definitely dehydrated. Mine was orange cause I was so sick and couldn’t keep anything down whatsoever at all while pregnant.
