What should I do if my urine is colored like strong tea?

Urine that is colored like strong tea indicates that the urine is abnormal. A routine urine test should be performed to assess whether the urine is hematuria or whether it is caused by increased urobilinogen or urinary bilirubin. You should also pay attention to whether it is caused by taking certain medications, such as taking rhubarb or rifampin, which may cause the urine to change color like strong tea. If you eat some food, it can also cause the urine to change like a strong tea-like color, such as red dragon fruit eaten in large quantities. If there are red blood cells in the urine test, this strong tea-like urine is hematuria and further tests should be done to determine the source of the bleeding. Whether it is a tumor of the urinary tract should be ruled out, urinary tract stones can also cause urine to look like strong tea, and urinary tract infections are also possible. If urinary bilirubin and urobilinogen are high in urine, it may be a disease of the liver and biliary system, and liver function tests are recommended. For urine that is colored like strong tea, you must drink more water and urinate more often.
