Brown urine in children

In our lives, many children have yellow or brown urine when defecating. Many mothers are afraid that their children will urinate brown urine, because if the child urinates brown urine, it is likely that there will be blood in the urine if it is not treated. Most of them are caused by urethritis or kidney disease. So what should children do with brown urine?

In this case, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up, find out the cause and treat it accordingly. Do not blindly treat it and delay the disease. In terms of diet, be careful not to eat spicy or cold foods, and get more rest.

Considering that it is caused by urinary tract infection, further urine routine test is needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment requires antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. 2 to 3 drugs should be used in combination according to the type of pathogen and its sensitivity to the drugs. The effect is better. The medication should be continued for 7 to 10 days before it can be stopped after the symptoms disappear completely, the urine test is normal, and the bacterial culture is negative. Drink more water to increase urine volume.

It may be a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a routine stool examination to clarify the condition and then receive symptomatic treatment. You can also use levofloxacin and cephalexin capsules for treatment. Do not eat spicy food, pay attention to personal hygiene, and drink plenty of water.

Normal fresh urine is light yellow in color because it contains a yellow pigment called urochrome. However, the color of urine can also be dark or light depending on the amount of water you drink. If you drink more water and urinate more, the proportion of urochrome in the urine will be smaller, and the color will be lighter; if you drink less water, the proportion of urochrome in the urine will be larger, and the color will appear yellow. If urine is left for some time, its color will become darker. This is because some of the urochrome in the urine has been oxidized into urochrome. The waste produced by the human body and the urine pigments excreted every day are generally relatively constant, so the color of urine will not change much. 96%-99% of urine is water, and most of the rest is waste, such as uric acid, creatinine, etc. The normal daily urine volume of a person is 1000-2000 ml, among which men have 1500-2000 ml and women have 1000-1500 ml. The urine is light yellow in color and transparent without any precipitation or turbidity. Freshly excreted urine has a special grassy aroma, but after being left for a long time, it develops an ammonia smell due to decomposition.

(1) Abnormal urine color

●Colorless urine may be a sign of diabetes, chronic interstitial nephritis, or diabetes insipidus. If it is not caused by drinking too much water, you should be careful to identify it.

●White urine White urine is common in purulent urine, chyluria and salt urine.

Purulent urine is caused by severe purulent urinary tract infection, and the urine is milky white. Purulent urine is common in pyelonephritis, cystitis, renal abscess, urethritis, or severe renal tuberculosis.

Chylous urine is one of the main symptoms of filariasis, and the urine is white like milk. Because the chyle (liquid after fat saponification) absorbed by the intestine cannot be drained into the blood circulation from the normal lymphatic vessels, it can only flow back into the lymphatic vessels of the urinary system, causing increased pressure in the lymphatic vessels in the urinary system, varicose veins and rupture, allowing the chyle to overflow into the urine, resulting in chyluria. Chylous urine is usually paroxysmal. When there are red blood cells in chyluria, it is called chylous hematuria. Microfilaria (i.e. young filaria) can sometimes be found in the blood and urine of patients with chylous hematuria.
