What Causes When Urine Has No Colour?

Question: I have no color to my urine, am I in trouble
Brief Answer:
please rule out excessive hydration
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Usually normal color of the urine is pale yellow due to the pigment urobilin.
Sometimes because of excessive hydration urine may look colorless, which doesn't need any intervention generally.
If you are having colorless urine in the absence of excessive intake of water and associated features like edema of body, increased frequency of urination, tiredness etc, you may need evaluation.
By investigations like urine microscopy, renal function tests like estimating blood urea and serum creatinine levels etc, the possible cause of the problem can be identified and treated.
Take care.
