Yellow Urine Color in 17-Year-Old Male Cause

I am 17 year old male my urine color is yellow can you tell me why since I was a child

1 Answer

Answered on 26th June '24

Urine­ normally appears yellow due to urochrome­ pigment. Darker yellow ofte­n results from dehydration or certain foods consume­d. Drinking more water typically lightens the­ color. Pain or burning during urination merits discussing with a urologist. Urochrome­ presence alone­ is usually innocuous and not a major concern. But combined with other symptoms, it may signal an unde­rlying issue requiring medical e­valuation. Overall, yellowish urine alone­ is generally harmless, as long as no othe­r troubling signs accompany it.

Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description

Male | 30

A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.

Cardiac or diabetes and issues is proteinurea

Male | 67

If someone is having problems with their heart or diabetes and is also having protein in their urine, this may mean there could be damage to the kidneys. The signs of this illness are the puffiness of the body, the appearance of bubble-like urine, and the presence of hypertension. This can be caused by increased sugar levels or high blood pressure in the blood. Eat healthy, control your blood sugar, and take medication as directed.

Hello (apologies for long post) Caucasian, Male, 60, 6'0", 260 lbs. Meds: Lisinopril 40 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg x2 a day, Amlodipine 10 mg, Furosemide 20 mg, Glimepiride 1 mg, Janumet 50-1000 x 2, Atorvastatin 10 mg...NO drink/smoke or rec. drugs. Issue: After a lot of work, have lost 40+ lbs in last 5-6 years...blood pressure 130/85, A1c 7.0 ...here is the issue. In March of 2023, after years of my GFR staying constant in mid/upper 40's, (not great, but consistent), it was lower at 41. Dr wanted to check it again in 1 month. I very strictly controlled my diet/sugar/protein/soda/increase water intake, etc...take meds religiously...GFR dropped to 35. Dr sent me to a nephrologist, but before the scheduled appointment (which was 6 weeks later), he took me off of Triamterene...said it can be hard on kidneys. When the nephrologist sent me for labs, GFR went UP to 50. Another test 2 weeks later and GFR went up to 55. Nephrologist says that removing Triamterene from regimen played NO part in GFR rising...put me on Spironolactone due to edema returning . 6 months later at next check-up, all numbers and BP continue to be good, but GFR back down to 40. Is it possible that the diuretics have been hard on my kidneys and causing the lower GFR. I understand with years of HBP/diabetes, the GFR is not ideal, but I'd like to keep it in the 50's if possible. Family doctor took me off the Spironolactone and put me on Lasix in March of 2024...bloodwork coming up in a couple of weeks. Family doctor seems to think the diuretics have contributed to lower GFR...Nephrologist says they have nothing to do with my fluctuating GFR numbers... seeking input from anyone here with knowledge/experience...appreciate any insights re: affect of diuretics on GFR...alternatives to traditional diuretics, etc. I've read loop diuretics like Lasix best for kidney issues.

ckd progression can stop or slower by taking the medicines

Male | 52

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys don't function properly. Symptoms are fatigue, swollen ankles, and trouble sleeping. CKD can be progressive and it may get worse over time. To delay the effects of the disease you can use the medicines your nephrologist has prescribed. These medications not only help the kidneys but also alleviate the symptoms. It is important to stick to the prescription and follow the right instructions to prevent the drugs from causing more damage to your kidneys.

5mm stone left renal calculus and there is hard pain in kidney

Male | 25

A 5mm kidne­y stone in your left side can cause­ severe pain. Urine­ minerals gather and create­ the stone. Intense­, stabbing pain may spread to your back or abdomen. Drink lots of water to he­lp flush out the stone. Your nephrologist might give me­dicine to ease pain and he­lp the stone pass more e­asily. In some cases, they may do a proce­dure to break up or remove­ the stone. Follow your doctor's advice care­fully to manage the pain and get rid of that stone­.

My wife is 39 years old suffering from CKD.Her cretanine pevel is 6.4

Female | 39

Your wife is likely to be getting symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, and trouble breathing if the creatinine level is 6.4. This could be from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which is when the kidneys get damaged. To help manage this, she needs to follow a low-salt diet, take the prescribed medications, and possibly undergo dialysis. It's vital to ensure that her condition is stable by doing regular check-ups.

Male | 21

Your symptoms of back pain, urine burning, and general weakness are likely due to the kidney stone. I suggest you to keep on taking Calcury tablets as the BAMS doctor prescribed you. Stay well-hydrated and eat a balanced diet. If these symptoms last or worsen, it's vital to get medical help.

My father is suffering from CKD stage V now my USG report is showing ADPKD MY question is i recently joined gym for my body transformation fat to fit for that goal i have to eat 2 grams per body weight of protein is it good for my kidney also i want to add creatine supplement can i add that supplement

Male | 24

The function of the kidneys worsens when you eat large amounts of protein, and the kidney problems become more severe. The extremely high rates of creatine supplements can make the kidneys unable to function properly. Before you start any regimen, consult with your doctor to figure out the best approach that is right for your body.

I have removed 9.5mm ureteral stone 3 months ago and doctor advised to do a songography usg abdomen pelvis after 3 months. i was diagnosed with 1 stone in Right mid calyx - 4mm 1 stone in left mid calyx - 4.2mm 1 stone in left lower calyx - 3.4mm

Male | 34

So you need to workup the cause for stone formation. The stone can be removed multiple times still you need to treat the cause it is happening.
