- In the same effect, some laxatives, activated carbon, intensive course of vitamin C and group V. If the patient has such a drug reaction for medicines, then this does not indicate the need to change therapy - this is a completely normal physiological process. Instructions for these drugs indicate a change in urine color as a possible side effect.
- With an insufficient volume of daily drinking, urine acquires a brown tint, because it becomes more concentrated. The kidneys increase the allocation of urohrhrom kidneys - a pigment that normally makes urin light yellow or straw color.
- The same effect is observed with abundant sweating, when the body does not have time to replenish the reserves of the fluid, and after taking the laxatives (or after diarrhea with intestinal disorders).
As soon as the water balance is normalized - urine color quickly acquires the usual shade.

Minor urine color changes are a normal phenomenon. In the morning, it is possible to observe its darkening associated with an increase in the concentration of Urohrome. If drinking a lot of water, urine changes the color to straw yellow.
In the case of some pathological or physical states, it can become brown.
If this happened, you need to find out if there is a disease, or such a reaction to irritants from outside is normal.
Non-hazardous reasons
The situation is considered normal if the reasons for urine brown became one of the factors:
The urine of brown or brown can be when inclusive in the diet of leguminous crops, beef, strong tea, rhubarb, etc. If we talk about medicines, it is painted urin into dark brown drugs of Salio and Naphtol. In addition, there is an increase in the concentration of Urohrome during the application in the treatment of laxatives.
With the termination of eating in food or when the reception of the above products / medicines, the urine color is rapidly restored.
Pathological reasons
Urine can buy a brown color due to the development of some diseases. In this case, it is about:
- jaundice (mechanical, parenchymal, hemolytic);
- inflammatory kidney diseases;
- prostate diseases;
- pathologies of female internal genital organs.
In addition, urine can conquer and as a result of increased fluid loss associated with some diseases.
If we talk about the causes of urine of brown color, crumbling in the development of jaundice, then this phenomenon due to violation of the formation and subsequent removal of biliary pigments.
- changing skin shade, which becomes greenish yellow;
- discoloration of carts;
- bradycardia (low heart abbreviation frequency);
- reduced arterial pressure.
If the reasons for urine brown is a parenchymal jaundice, which develops due to liver damage during cirrhosis and hepatitis, then urine is painted by increasing the content of urobilin and the appearance of bilirubin. The skin in this disease can acquire a saffrano-yellow shade, and the hollow masses are clay. With active inflammation of the liver, a decrease in body weight can also be observed, weakness caused by ascites an increase in abdomen, an increase in temperature. The rest of the symptoms, only with a lesser degree of severity, are similar to the jaundick mechanical.
With the explanation of the reasons for urine brown, the development of hemolytic jaundice its staining occurs due to the increase in the amount of bilirubin, which is not associated with the pathology of the liver, but with an increased formation. The occurrence of the hemolysis of the erythrocytes is due to the poisoning of the hemolytic poison, the incompatibility of blood in a group or the rhesus factor during transfusion, as well as the development of diseases such as: system red lupus, malaria, infective endocarditis, etc. The cause of urine brown in hemolysis is an increased urobilin content in it, whereas there is no bilirubin. Also observes the darkening of the feces and the acquisition of lemon-yellow leaflee.
Watering a healthy person is characterized by a yellowish-straw tint. Under development pathological processes She can change its painting.

- water deficiency in tissues;
- eating coloring products and some drugs.
Only yellow urine indicates the absolute health of a person, with any changes to its coloring should be found as caused by this unnatural process. Determine the cause of the change external view Urins can only after blood tests and urine.
Natural factors

Identical reaction - with oak bark and rosehip fruits.
With a shortage of water, the concentration of Urohrome in Urin increases significantly, so it darkens. This condition is not dangerous, the color will become normal when using a large amount of fluid.

This is bilirubin and biliverdin, they give Urin a dark color. In addition, the sign of the liver is evidenced by the discoloration of feces and hypotension.
- Jaundice. When developing a disease in the body, bilirubin is actively produced, which gives a dark color, with a laboratory survey, the presence in the urine of this substance will be established.
