Should A Dark Amber Color Of Urine For Employment Pre Screen Test Worry Me ?
hello, I was asked for a clean urine sample from a friend for employnment pre screen test, and when I gave it to her, s he commented on the color. Dark amber. My normal color is more a light yellow/gold, and I told her that I had
not had my normal intake of soda, which I drink about 64 oz a dday. I told her that it was just darker because I didn't have as much fluid intake as normal. No cloudiness in sample, but she said that after overnite in fridge, sample grew darker and developed a film over the surface. Being a guy, I wasn't concerned too much. but she has a genuine concern. no drug or alcohol use, yes on cigarettes, but no otc or illicit drugs. iIm sorry I don't have a cc or paypal to pay, I didn't know the routine as this is the first time on website. I will resubmit when I get a prepaid cc in near future

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have an appointment for health check up before employment and noticed your urine colour to be dark amber
.
This is most likely to be due to urine being concentrated due to less water intake .
Do not worry the colour of the urine is insignificant it is the finding of microscopic examination like presence of pus cells, bacteria or protein that is important from the point of view of any major illness in urinary system .
Do ot worry this will not cause any threat to your fitness .
Thanks
