Could clear urine be a sign of kidney problem instead of a sign of hydration?
Hi, I am a soon to be RN in a couple of months. Kidney problems are associated with very concentrated urine that is usually orange to brown in color because the kidney would be unable to filter out the things that are not needed. Clear urine is a sign of healthy kidneys.Additional:Clear urine is also occasionally an indicator of diabetes insipidus. Also check under diagnostic indices for Polyuria. If it's clear and you're urinating frequently (more than 3L daily), it can -- rarely -- be a sign of renal disease.

What does epithelial cells in urine mean?
Epithelial cells in urine generally means that the urine was not a clean mid-stream collection. Epithelial cells, are lining cells of the urethra and are constantly being turned over and sloughed. These cells are commonly called squamous epithelial cells. These cells can also indicate vaginal or perianal contamination. By voiding the first few mL of urine before collecting, there should be a very minimal amount of epithelial cells in the urine. There should only be concern when the epithelial cells found are determined to be renal epithelial cells. And are only concerning in high concentrations. These cells come from the renal tubules and can be a sign of renal disease and should be followed up by your physician.

Monitoring and addressing the underlying cause of proteinuria is crucial to prevent further kidney damage.
