What causes brown color urination in a child?
Patient: My 4 years old son looks healthy, no fever, no pain, but yesterday he called me to look at his urine and I was so terrified when I saw the urine which looks like a strong coffee. Actually I am going to take him to a doctor this evening but what could this be. Doctor: Hi,  Cola colored urine in a well thriving child could mean post streptococcal glomerulonephritis following upper respiratory tract infection or skin infection. Don't worry, it is a self resolving condition. Please go to a pediatrician for blood and urine tests and blood pressure check-up.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
