Why is my child's urine yellow?

Children's ability to express themselves is always very weak. Resistance is low, especially in the summer season. The weather is quite hot and it is easy to get irritated if you cannot replenish water in time, so the child’s urine will become yellow. However, many mothers tend to ignore this phenomenon. Let us now understand why children’s urine becomes yellow.

The fresh urine normally discharged by the baby should be light yellow, because there is a yellow substance in the baby's urine. Generally speaking, if you drink more water and urinate more, the proportion of urochrome in the urine will be smaller. If your urine is yellow, you drink less water, and the proportion of urochrome in the urine will be larger, so the urine will appear yellow.

But sometimes yellow urine is abnormal. Why does the baby's urine appear yellow or dark yellow? There are several possibilities:

If you take certain medications, the color of your urine will become darker, and it will naturally improve after you stop taking the medication. However, if the color of your urine remains dark, take your baby to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Long-term yellow urine and symptoms such as loss of appetite and fatigue may be a disease of the liver, kidney or urinary and reproductive system. Parents should take their children to the hospital for treatment in time.

If the baby has a fever or symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, the water in the urine will be reduced because the water will be excreted with sweat or feces, and the color of the urine will appear very yellow. Parents do not need to worry too much.

There is another situation where the color of urine is yellow like strong tea. It may be a symptom of liver or gallbladder disease, and jaundice is present. We often see that the color of urine is like strong tea. Bile is excreted through the intestines and urine. If there is a lesion in the liver and gallbladder, bile cannot be excreted from the intestines and can only be excreted through urine, which will make the urine become like strong tea. This is one of the early symptoms of liver disease. For example, in the early stages of hepatitis, before jaundice appears, we often see urine that is the color of strong tea. This is often a signal of hepatitis.

Therefore, parents should take this matter seriously and take their children to see a doctor in time. In addition, there is a kind of yellow turbid pyuria which is a manifestation of urinary organ pathology. Therefore, if you have yellow urine for a long time, it is best to seek medical attention in time to confirm the condition so that you can receive early treatment.

The above is the explanation for children's yellow urine. Yellow urine is a symptom of getting angry and is also a common inflammation. When your child has symptoms of yellow urine, you can replenish the body's water by drinking more water and eating vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables. If there is still no improvement, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Go to treatment in time.
