Urine

How important is the color of urine? I drink a lot of fluid to try to keep the color of my urine as clear as possible. If i don't or when I wake up and go the color is a darker yellow.

Darker urine in the morning is common. During the day, it should be lighter. Dehydration can be one cause of darker urine.
