Transcribed Image Text:Background
Urinalysis is used by doctors to assess various factors of urine, including color and pH, that could indicate disease.
These factors are normally kept in balance by the kidneys as they filter blood and produce urine but may change
under certain conditions like disease or medication use, or even with certain foods.
Color
light yellow to amber
clear to light yellow
yellow orange to orange
green
red to red brown
dark wine
brown
brown-black
Test Result
Low pH (<6)
High pH (>8)

Normal urine colors range from light yellow to amber, depending upon the concentration of urobilin, the urinary
pigment. Certain foods, drugs, diseases, and amount of water intake can cause lighter or darker urine.
