No, the only thing that will dilute or thin urine is water. Even so, it would be very difficult to drink enough water to seriously dilute urine and affect the specific gravity. Bilirubin is produced by the destruction of red blood cells, and a high level in the blood suggests an underlying condition of the liver, or some condition which is causing the excessive destruction of the red blood cells. Leading causes would be diseases of the liver, such as cirrosis or cancer, gallstones, and hepatitis. Diseases which cause hemolytic anemia would also cause a rise in bilirubin levels. If bilirubin is detected in urine, the next step is a blood test to determine blood levels and further examination to determine the cause of it being present in such high concentrations. High concentrations of bilirubin in the urine would give it a dusky or darker color, but would not affect the urine otherwise.

Yes drinking diluted urine can cause many problems. I know a guy that drank two gallons in two weeks, well his Bili Rubin Sandwich taste levels were way down , so yeah it can mess with the taste of Rubens, and dilute the flavor so yeah.

No, if you had high bili rubin levels your urine would be darker not diluted.

It is something to do with your kidney, whether it's functioning properly or not.the acidity or the alkalinity of urine depends on the amount of fluids in your body which then process in the kidney through glomiruli filtration , then excreted out of the body.
