Hello
Thanks for query.
Dark urine with kidney transplant needs to be taken seriously .
It could be due to either
1) Stone in transplanted kidney
2) Infection of the kidney (Pyelonephritis )
Please consult your Nephrologist for evaluation and get Renal Function test done .
Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests .
