How often is your urine orange if you have liver damage, and why does that happen?

odds are, that your blood glucose is elevated. Once you get on metformin and get your BG back down to the 100s, the urine will return to a straw color.  When your blood sugar gets just so high, your kidneys start dumping sugar thru the urine.\nPersonal experience.   Dxd 2/06 as Type 2 by docs at MDACC with A1c of 9.5% and BG of 305.    now down to 105s.\neveryone over 55 should have a fasting Blood sugar test done one or twice a year.

Yeah, as others said. It's most probably "jaundice" \n\nSomeone has explained what jaundice is, previously. So yeah, i wont repeat.\n\nIt could be a sign of some form of liver problem or it could be benign. It's best to go to see the doctor about that if she is worried. Otherwise, wait for a few days and consult a doctor if it gets worse. \n\nAnd i hope she gets well soon. =)

Yes, the liver is the cleaning plant of the body. It's a plant called "Chelidonium majus", with yellow flowers, round leaves from which you can make tea for liver illnesses. The juice of the plant is orange and if you put it on warts, in time they dry and fall down. Maybe they prepared that drug from that plant. If the liver is in good condition it cleans your blood and your skin too.

When the bilirubin level gets high enough, the yellow color shows up in most visible areas--skin, urine, mucus membranes, etc; it's not just the sclera that turns yellow.

you need to see a doc. I am not gonna preach about drinking and all but yeah sounds like it is from that. Could be an infection or stones although I think kidney stones would hurt way more! If there is an infection sometimes cranberries or the juice can help clear things up. However, you sound past the help of cranberries.

I drink 16 ounces an hour, until I don't need it. Anymore than that can cause kidney damage. But that's the Military Standard in the U.S. The key is, you want to drink water until your urine is clear. Once it starts turning yellow again, start drinking. Make a habit out of it, and you won't have to pay attention. Remember, the more toxins you take in, the more water you will need, and the more often you will need to urinate. Try to eliminate caffeine, alcohol, etc. If you sweat more, drink more.

There are a variety of liver diseases. Those mentioned below are just a few of the various symptoms:\n1. ABNORMALLY YELLOW DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN AND EYES. This is called jaundice which is often the first and sometimes the only sign of liver disease. \n\n2. DARK URINE. \n\n3. GRAY, YELLOW, OR LIGHT-COLORED STOOLS. \n\n4. NAUSEA, VOMITING AND/OR LOSS OF APPETITE. \n\n5. VOMITING OF BLOOD, BLOODY OR BLACK STOOLS. Intestinal bleeding can occur when liver diseases obstruct blood flow through the liver. The bleeding may result in vomiting of blood or bloody stools. \n\n6. ABDOMINAL SWELLING. Liver disease may cause ascites, an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. \n\n7. PROLONGED GENERALIZED ITCHING. \n\n8. UNUSUAL CHANGE OF WEIGHT. An increase or decrease of more than 5% within two months. \n\n9. ABDOMINAL PAIN. \n\n10. SLEEP DISTURBANCES, MENTAL CONFUSION AND COMA are present in severe liver disease. These result from an accumulation of toxic substances in the body which impair brain function. \n\n11. FATIGUE OR LOSS OF STAMINA. \n\n12. LOSS OF SEXUAL DRIVE OR PERFORMANCE.

Why is your liver enlarged?? Did they damage your bile ducts during surgery? Have you been tested for Hepatitis? You really, really, need a second opinion!

I agree that it could be caused by your prenatal vitamins, if you're using them. The iron and the dyes used in them can affect the color of your urine and feces, both.\n\nMention it to your doctor, just to be on the safe side.\n\nTake care and be well! :)

Did you recently get treatment for a urinary tract infection?  Some of the drugs they give you for that turn your urine bright orange -- and it is easy to think that the fluid is comin from your vagina.

it could be your liver, a kidney, your bladder, or the most likely cause - gas. If it persists for more than a day or becomes too unbearable, call a doctor.

Large amounts of some vitamins can change the color of your urine...B12 for instance. It just means you are getting more of the vitamin than your body can use and it is eliminating it through the kidneys. It's harmless.

Yeah, I think it's the Yellow 5 dye that they put in the soda that causes problems... But you have to drink a LOT for it to be a problem!  Then again, I know some guys who drink 6 a day :p

Large amounts of protein in your urine means that your body is not absorbing its nutrients properly, which could mean that there something not right with your kidney's. I would definitely go have it checked out by a Doctor.

Hi There\n\nHere are some methods to get healed. Be sure to do a colon and liver cleanse. You must clean out the toxins and you'll be on your way to a healthy body.\n\nause\nThe most common cause of hepatitis is a virus that can occur in five potential forms: A, B, C, D, or E. Other causes include excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse (including pharmaceutical drugs, such as acetaminophen), overexposure to chemicals, and, sometimes, as a reaction to properly prescribed medications. \n\nIn recent years, hepatitis C has been on the increase. It is most frequently caused as a result of blood transfusions. Typically, people with hepatitis C are identified either because they have abnormal liver tests or because of a hepatitis C antibody test. A positive test does not necessarily mean serious liver disease, however. People with hepatitis C may have no liver disease, a mild form of chronic hepatitis, or a more serious form of hepatitis that may progress over a number of years to cirrhosis. The usual indications are a positive antibody test for the hepatitis C virus, abnormal liver tests for more than six to twelve months, and a liver biopsy that shows chronic active hepatitis. Approximately 20% of patients chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus will go on to develop cirrhosis. \n\nNote: Infectious hepatitis can be easily spread two weeks before and one week after jaundice appears. The feces of people with hepatitis contain the virus. Therefore, very strict toilet hygiene and hand and cloth washing should be observed during this time.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nAromatherapy: Rosemary can help stimulate liver function. \n\nDiet: Follow a diet low in protein and high in fresh vegetables to minimize stress on the liver. Also eat small meals throughout the day, and avoid foods such as refined sugars, alcohol, and caffeine, which cause stress on the liver, and be sure to drink plenty of filtered water. Drinking fresh lemon juice water every morning and evening followed by vegetable juice is also recommended to help liver function. Easily digested grains, such as millet, buckwheat, and quinoa, are also good food choices. \n\nEnemas: Three warm enemas administered daily can help boost liver function. \n\nHerbs: The liver-cell regenerative properties of herbs such as milk thistle and licorice can be helpful. Take 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Tumeric combined with milk thistle has also been shown to help alleviate the symptoms of hepatitis B. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nJuice Therapy: The following juice combinations can be helpful: beet, carrot, and wheat grass juice; or garlic, burdock, flax, and black currants.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: Supplement with vitamin C, beta carotene, liver glandulars, milk thistle extract, vitamin B complex, adrenal glandulars, lipotropic factors, pantothenic acid, free-form amino acids, betaine hydrochloric acid (HCL), multi-enzymes, and evening primrose oil.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating hepatitis: Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Detoxification Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, and Oxygen Therapy\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers
