Causes to dark urine, pale stool after gallbladder Detailed Answer: Hi, The symptoms you are experiencing might be related to: - choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones) - pancreatitis which might be happening after gallbladder removal. I strongly suggest to do: - abdominal ultrasound - urine analysis - blood work - biochemistry testing to further evaluate your health condition. If everything is ok, then, it might be related to post-cholecystectomy syndrome, a common condition in patients who had gallbladder removal. However, you should run the above-mentioned tests first to determine it. With regards to blood in stool, - if it is fresh, pink blood, then, it is related to Hemorrhoids (especially if you are experiencing constipation too) - if not fresh, but dark or cherish stool, then, should do a colonoscopy for further evaluation (to find out the upper GI tract bleeding source) Hope it was of help!

Instructions:
Causes: Darker than usual urine, indicates that you are dehydrated. Dehydration is the most common reason for a change in urine color. The kidney produces less (and concentrated) urine due to less water in the body. Increasing your water content should help your urine to its normal color in a few hours. If that does not happen then you should get it checked out.

Persistent dark urine is usually a sign that something is wrong with the functioning of the liver or the kidneys. Injuries to these organs can cause dark colored urine. Infections of the urinary tract or any kidney infections can cause urine to change color. Conditions like hepatitis, nephritis, endocarditis, prostrate cancer, renal cell carcinoma or any urological condition can also lead to change in the urine color. Occasionally blood in the urine can also lead to dark colored urine.

There are also many medications that cause a change in urine color. Anti malarial drugs like chloroquinine, antibiotics like metronidazole and nitrofurantonin, or even laxatives that contain cascara or senna can cause change in the color of the urine.
