Orange urine is usually caused by reactions to foods or medicines. For example, eating carrots or taking high-dose vitamin C supplements can turn urine orange. People on chemotherapy or those taking laxatives or anti-inflammatory drugs also may notice orange-colored urine. Dehydration can also impart an orange coloration to urine. In some cases, orange urine suggests something more serious, such as a problem with the liver or bile duct. This is particularly serious if it appears in combination with light-colored stool.
