Question
Why does my baby’s urine appear yellow?
Answer
A baby’s urine appearing very yellow may be due to insufficient water intake and urine concentration. However, if the baby’s urine remains very yellow for a long time, it should be checked to rule out liver and bile duct diseases causing a decrease in bilirubin excretion or an increase in production, which can lead to an increased bilirubin content in the urine. Additionally, urine may also appear yellow during inflammation. It is recommended to undergo a routine urine test to determine if it is normal.
