HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if your husband have history of stent in renal system and now the urine is dark in color then this is really matter of concern, the first possibility is hematuria and that need to be look from where the blood is leaking, ( The Urinary system has to be investigated ) once the bleeder found then the cause of this would be next step and that may includes the platelet, I would advise you to have a word with his doctor hope this information helps you take care of your husband, bye.
