A member asked:

3 yo-old had g.i. bug wk ago. urine in diaper has orange tint at times. this morning there were org streaks on pad of diaper. drinking again. worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dark urine: Darkening of the urine is usually caused by dehydration (concentrated urine) or staining from supplements (orange drinks) or medications. Occassionally, small amounts of blood can give the urine a dark or tea colored appearance, a condition which should be evaluated by your physician immediately.
