I have started a UTI... usual symptoms (urgency, burning, etc.) I have taken otc AVO and I ve been drinking cranberry juice. I will go to doctor tomorrow... however, will the orange colored urine cause by the AVO keep me from giving a useful urine sample to the doctor?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please note that urine color is due to pigment of juice .but in urine examination sugar level and protein level is checked by specific chemical tests and pus cells are checked under microscope. So color urine will not cause any problem .you may dilute the urine by increasing water intake.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
