HI
Thank fro asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, If I would be Doctor of your son then I would advise him to drink lot of water and the chances of change of urine color with plenty off water intake is likely, if it get alright with this then fine if reappear or does not go away then I would ask for routine urine examination to rule out the possibility of hematuria, because he has renal elements so hematuria is likely take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
