What Does Urine Color Indicate?

5. Amber or Honey-Colored Urine

If your urine is amber or honey-colored, you may be reaching a state of severe dehydration due to a low intake of water or medications, diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive sweating without replacing fluids. Along with very dark urine, dehydration causes extreme thirst, less frequent urination, difficulty urinating, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and confusion. Repeated or prolonged severe dehydration can lead to urinary and kidney problems, kidney failure, or seizures. It can also trigger hypovolemic shock, which occurs when low blood volume causes blood pressure and blood oxygen levels to drop.
