It also includes dead blood cells and other material the body wants to eliminate.

They eliminate excess water, salts and minerals, as well as urea from protein digestion, uric acid, creatinine from muscle breakdown, hormone waste and toxins. Also eliminated is urochrome, which is a yellow pigment that comes from the processing of dead blood cells in the liver. The urochrome gives the urine a pale yellow color, which is its normal color.Since the normal color of urine is pale yellow, variations can be an indication of health problems or be the result of certain foods that have been eaten.Clear urineIf a person has been drinking an excess of water or diuretics such as coffee or beer, the urine may have little or no color.
