Child With Black Particles In Urine. What Could Be This?
Question: Hi, I have a two year old that we are potty training so she is going is a little potty seat. I've noticed that when I go to dump out her urine she has a bunch of black particles in her urine. Wondering what it might be and whether it's something I just need to keep an eye on or make an appt. with her doctor. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it.
Brief Answer:
Please send her urine for investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The content of the urine and stools is dependent on the food and liquids we take.
Black particles in the urine of your 2 year old can be altered blood.
To confirm this,her urine has to be sent for Culture and sensitivity,microscopy,deposits etc.
Sometimes,simple Ultrasound abdomen to rule out any problem in kidney/Ureter/ urinary bladder .
So,i request you not to neglect and consult a Urologist for Clinical examination and investigations.
Wish her good health
