I understand that your son has dark-colored urine.
Can you tell me when it started? Have you noticed
that the urine output has decreased? Is it smoky? Did
he have any sorethroat a week or two before? Did he
have any skin infections 1-2 weeks ago? Do you know
what it was? Did you have it checked? Were
medications given? Have you noticed any weight
gain? Any changes in the urine such as burning
sensation when urinating or frequency? Any injury to
the loin region? Is it before, throughout or after urine?
Any problems with the flow? Do you know whether he
has taken any large amounts of beetroot or jellies or
lollies?
‐ How is his general health? Any significant medical
illness? How about his weight and appetite? Any fever
or joint pains? Any bleeding disorders in the child or in
the family? FHx of kidney problems?
