Brief Answer: Too early to worry much Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for the query, the color of urine is a direct function of how concentrated the urine is. During different times of the day, the amount of fluid taken in is different, and consequently the color changes. The more the amount of water or fluid taken in, the clearer the urine will be. The food or drinks also taken do influence the color of urine. It might therefore be of interest to check on the various fluid types you take during different types of the day. Fluids that are colored can at times influence the color of urine. I would suggest you evaluate the amount of fluid you have been taking for the past three months at the different time of the time. It is also important to note if you have recently changed environment, job or not. Change of environment in accompanied by a change in temperature, and accompanying drinking patterns do change. the hotter the area, the more colored urine shall be because more fluid is lost through sweating. If all these considerations do not hold, meaning within the the last three months everything has been going on well, a more keener evaluation for metabolic diseases like diabetes and enzyme disorders, infections and checking of kidney status would be warranted. the opinion of a nephrologist could then be useful. However, I suggest those simple common considerations be checked first. Drinking more fluid generally should lead to less colored urine. kind regards as I hope this helps. Please, do feel very free asking further questions in case of need. I am predisposed to help. Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer: No worries for now. Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for the query, Sorry for the late response. Considering the numerous work ups you have done, and the way the color change evolves, I really do not think you should be worried. I am afraid you should contact your doctor concerning the dosage of Aspirin. Low dose aspirin, and NOT high dose Aspirin is needed for your cardiac status and history. If it is low dose Aspirin, it is fine. But I still do suggest your blood clotting status should be continually controlled from time to time. HIV is very easy to diagnose these days. Oral sex is for sure a risk factor. I however suggest you get an HIV test done, after counseling from the doctor. It is true that HIV could cause kidney disease in the long run, but it is really unlikely in this case. I do suggest you see your doctor for advice. But you need not be worried at this point in time. Kind regards as I wish you the best of health. Dr Rogers
