Urine: Liquid waste. The urine is a clear, transparent fluid. It normally has an amber color. The average amount of urine excreted in 24 hours is from 40 to 60 ounces (about 1,200 cubic centimeters). Chemically, the urine is mainly an aqueous (watery) solution of salt (sodium chloride) and substances called urea and uric acid. Normally, it contains about 960 parts of water to 40 parts of solid matter. Abnormally, it may contain sugar (in diabetes), albumen (a protein) (as in some forms of kidney disease), bile pigments (as in jaundice), or abnormal quantities of one or another of its normal components.

Mostly wateralong with salts and minerals and waste that the body does not need. The water and excess material is filtered out through the kidneys.
While it would not be a pleasant thing to do, urine can be recycled through the body again. People have been saved from dying from thirst by drinking their own urine. I would prefer water, but if I was dying in the desert I would give it a try.
