What Causes Orange Colored Urine Post Chemotherapy?

My husband has stage IV colon cancer mestatis to the liver. He went thru 16 rounds of chemo and the cancer grew back. He is schedule for radioactive embolism procedure on May 5th. He has been off chemo for about 4 or 5 weeks. Every couple of days his urine is dark orange. He believes that it is still chemo side effects but I am not so sure. He has approx. 14 or 15 lesions on his liver. Could he still be having chemo side effects in his urine.?

Hi,

Yes chemotherapy medicines make urine orange. The color is due to chemotherapy especially when given for prolonged time.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
