Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it seems less likely to be related to your previous episode of jaundice or hepatitis and the current symptoms seems to be arising from urinary tract.
Urinalysis to look for any signs of urinary tract infection or any blood or protien loss in urine should be evaluated.
Also if dark colour due to liver causes is suspected, bile pigments may also be present but ultrasound KUB to look for any concretions or any other structural lesions must be done.
Meanwhile keep drinking good amount of waterand cranberry sachet may be helpful at the moment.
Any other renal pathology with red colour urine in young male needs evaluation and shouldn't be ignored.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
