My baby's urine color is dark...is that serious problem?

It Depends: If it is literally the color of dark tea or coca cola, there may be blood in the urine. A dark golden or yellow may only means your child needs more fluids. This means it is possible there is a serious problem. If there is a concern, call your pediatrician.

Should be checked: Is there a change from previous urine color? Dark urine can mean many things. Usually, its a sign of possible dehydration. Your pediatrician can do a simple urine test in the office or a urine analysis can be done at your insurance's participating lab.
