What Causes Pinkish Discoloration In Urine?

I am a 70 year old male. Tonight I noticed a slightly pinkish, not blood, in my urine. Could this be a sign of infection somewhere in my body? I also have a sore throat and tender , somewhat swollen throat gland. I have an appointment tomorrow with my ENT. Should I mention the urine?
