I remember about 4-5 days before mom died they put a cath in and her urine was very dark and had red particles in it. They told us this was her kidneys shutting down. I am in no way saying this is what is going on in your situation. I would give the doc a call and see if they can help you out. Dothedewmom Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
