Brief Answer:

Infection or due to some specific foods.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

If, except for the urine colour, you are experiencing other symptoms like burning during urination, urge to urinate, pain etc, then, they all together with the lime urine colour indicate a bacterial infection.

In this case, you need to do a urine analysis and urine culture to choose the specific antibiotic for the treatment of the infection.

If you are not having other symptoms, just that the urine has the strange green lime colour, then this is not something to worry.

This may come from some specific foods like asparagus or from the dyers in some supplements or beverages.

It may be also due to excess of Vitamine B supplements if you are taking any if not, it is due to the foods and you do not have to worry.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
