Question : red color urine?

Brief Answer:
Nephritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The fact that you are having no abdominal pain and there is red coloured urine could mean that there is inflammation of the kidneys known as glomerulonephritis.

This is of immediate concern. Please approach a GP as soon as possible for a urine routine and a renal function test.
Watch for fall in urine output ( lesser than usual) and development of puffiness of face

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

regards
