Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dark red, brown or “Coca-Cola” colored urine is a common sign. This is due to blood in the urine. Sometimes the urine may appear normal but blood may still be seen in the urine with the aid of a microscope. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is another sign.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerulonephritis signs and symptoms may include: Pink or cola-colored urine from red blood cells in your urine (hematuria) Foamy or bubbly urine due to excess protein in the urine (proteinuria) High blood pressure (hypertension)

Detailed explanation-3: -Dark urine (brown-, tea-, or cola-colored) is often the first clinical manifestation of APSGN. Dark urine is caused by hemolysis of red blood cells that have penetrated the glomerular basement membrane and have passed into the tubular system. Periorbital edema is typical.
