Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

Brown or black color in urine in a one-year-old child can be due to urinary tract infection, urethritis, acute glomerulonephritis, or renal stones. Kindly do complete blood count, kidney function test, urine routine microscopy, and culture test, and ultrasound abdomen.
-Give more fluids to the child.
-An examination by the doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important findings.
-Review back with the above reports.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
