Pish Chart
http://www.topendsports.com/testing/...urinechart.jpg
Description / Procedure:
The first part of the urine stream is discarded, then a small sample of urine is collected into a clear container. Measurement may be done immediately, or the specimen can be stored for later analysis. The sample is usually collected first thing in the morning. It may also be of interest to collect samples prior to or post exercise, though there may be a time delay for the effect of dehydration to show in the urine color.
Equipment Required:
Urine specimen containers, ice bucket for storage and ice, color rating chart, gloves, clip boards, recording sheet, pen.
Interpretation:
The sample should be held up in front of a white background, in good light, and the colour compared to the chart to the left. The lower the number, the better the result. A urine colour rating of 1, 2 or 3 is considered to be well-hydrated (Armstrong, 2000). Based on these results, changes in fluid intake can be made.
Precautions:
Certain medicines and vitamins may cause the color of the urine to change. If any of these have been taken, this test is unreliable.
The colours your see on the screen, or when you print the image out, may appear different to the original chart. Therefore this chart should only be used as a guide. If more accurate comparison is required, please go to an original source.

Re: Pish Chart
Eating or drinking of the foods or drinks can change the colour of the pish also.
If you think you have blood in your pish best not to eat a lot of beetroot as this may disguise said blood / pish combo.
