everyone who said the bladder doesn't process anything is right, but assuming you meant kidneys, I would say the in to out time depends on a lot of things. Some of them include how hydrated you are, what kind of toxins and wastes you've got floating through your body that your body wants to get rid of, and the levels of certain hormones, such as antidiuretic hormone (this one keeps you from peeing until you become a wrinkly prune, so you can imagine what too little or too much can do to you).

If its for a drug test, watch out because depending on the extent of the test, traces of THC can still be found in urine. Drink a lot of fluids to flush it from your system and then take niacin (or any other B vitamin) to put the yellow color back in your urine to remove suspicion. A diuretic like caffeine or another you find at the store will help flush it more quickly.

usually that means a urinary tract infection (UTI).  White blood cells fight infections in your body.  If you have an infection in your urinary tract, they group there, and then get expelled in your urine.

Proteinuria can be caused by different things.  This is no diagnosis of any kind, and if you have proteinuria you should consult with your doctor for medical advice.  That being said, protein is filtered out of your urine by the glomeruli in your kidneys.  If you have excess amounts of protein in the urine then it signifies your kidneys are not doing their job correctly and often means something's wrong with the kidneys (kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, preeclampsia, etc).\n\nPregnant women will also often have larger amounts of protein in the urine.\n\nSome things that can affect the level of protein in your urine are if you've just completed a heavy workout, if you have a UTI (urinary tract infection), or if you've been sick and had a fever.

Most likely it is a drug/alcohol screening. Hair is used alot more often for drug/alchol testing and is more accurate them unrine. Hair also can determine if your friend has been on drugs or drank and about how long ago. Urine can not determine how long ago the person did drugs or drank. Urine is also moderately flushable(Flushing the body out with water or natural herbs to try to cleanse it of the drugs/alcohol), and no amount of water or cleansing liquid from the natural food store can cleanse hair of alcohol use or drug use.

Could be a simple urinary tract infection (most likely), but it could aslo be a more serious infection such as chlamydia.  In either case you would need antibiotcs to clear it, otherwise it can develop into a very dangerous infection as it moves up the urethra, such as a kidney infection, which can ultimately be fatal.  See a doctor right away.

yes, as a person in the health field, ANY amount of blood in your urine, should spark you into seeking medical attention...  blood in your urine could mean a problem in ur urethra, urinary bladder, ureter, or your kidney, usually an infection, but you want to go make sure and rule out all other possible causes...  b/c it hurts when u urinate, it's probably an infection, and you'll be given a course of antibiotics, but a visit to the doctor is mandatory for you at this point, before anything has a chance to progress...

This question is really too general to answer completely.  \nBecause there are many types of kidney diseases, there are many kinds of symptoms that people can experience.  You should go to www.kidney.org (the national kidney foundation website) and take a look at the patient information.\n\nTo address a previous comment, urine output is often confused with kidney function.  The amount of urine made does not tell you about your level of kidney function or whether your kidneys are sick.  Please remember that depending on the cause of kidney disease/failure (chronic or acute), a person could experience low, normal or high amounts of urine output.  The way kidney function is tested is by using laboratory values--the most common value used is called the serum (blood) creatinine level.\n\nThe laundry lists of signs and symptoms that are usually given for kidney failure are LATE symptoms of kidney failure. These generally occur when a person is at a point where their kidneys have failed completely and they require dialysis treatments. Most people with early/moderate kidney failure have NO symptoms at all.  \n\nSo, the most common symptoms of kidney disease are no symptoms at all.  Kidney disease is usually a SILENT disease that is more often then not picked up by checking routine laboratory tests. It is not ususally picked up by symptoms.   Catching kidney disease early is the best way to prevent further kidney damage.   \n\nThe best advice is to check with your doctor and make sure they have checked your level of kidney function. It is important to note that certain diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease are major causes of kidney disease.  If you have these and other predisposing diseases, you need to make sure your doctor checks for kidney problems on a regular basis.  If there is a kidney problem, you may need to be referred to a specialist (nephrologist).

The color of pee is caused by bile, a chemical the liver produces to break up fat. When our bodies break down bile, the pigment urochrome turns pee yellow. The lighter the color, the more liquid has watered it down. \n\nIn fact, you can easily determine if you're dehydrated from the color of your urine. Dark yellow is a symptom of moderate dehydration and is a sign that you should drink fluids right away. However, taking vitamin supplements can also cause pee to appear yellow. \n\nBelieve it or not, urine's yellow color was once believed to come from gold. Long ago, alchemists attempted to extract gold from pee. Needless to say, they were unsuccessful. However, in 1669, an alchemist named Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus while engaged in the undertaking. Among other things, this find helped to spark the creation of matches. \n\nYou may have asked this question lightheartedly, but for hikers and parents of small children, understanding the significance is important for health and safety.
