What Causes Dark Stool With Hematuria?

I had some beets (3 large ones) 4 days ago and the next day my stool and I think my urine too, looked red. Now my stool is a very dark brown and it still adds a tinge of red to the water in the toilet. Should I be concerned? Can this be from beets I ate 4 days ago?? I don't usually eat beets.
