Urine is a pale, straw-colored liquid that progressively becomes a darker yellow color as it becomes more concentrated. The yellow color is a result of the presence of urochrome pigment, a by-product of hemoglobin breakdown. Urine is more dense than water with a specific gravity of 1.001 to l.035. Urine is sterile and slightly aromatic and has an acidic pH of around 6. Urine normally contains sodium and potassium ions, urea, uric acid, creatinine, ammonia, and bicarbonate ions, as well as other ions the body needs to dispose of.
