Urine output is very important. Changes in colour, clarity, odour or volume can mean many things from dehydration to kidney problems. Normal urine should range from a pale straw colour to amber depending on its concentration. In the morning it is usually more concentrated and throughout the day as you drink more it becomes less concentrated. Urine that is red at all can indicate bleeding, but some medications and food can cause changes in colour. Dark amber can indicate high concentrations of bilirubin caused by liver dysfunction or vitamin B. Urine that is cloudy or foamy can indicate high concentrations of protein or bacteria. Urine with a sweet or fruity odour can indicate Diabetes mellitus or starvation. An output of less than 30 mL in two hours in cause for concern also, over 2000-2500mL daily should be reported to a doctor.
