ver_jen	Purple discoloration can occur in alkaline urine as a result of the degradation of indoxyl sulfate (indican), a metabolite of dietary Tryptophan, into indigo (which is blue) and indirubin (which is red) by bacteria such as Providencia stuartii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and enterococcus species. The clinical course is benign, and the urine typically clears with resolution of the bacteriuria and acidification of the urine. You most likely picked up a bacteria. You need to go to the doctor and get on antibiotics to clear this up. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rich	This is a very good question and can be equated with possible blood in the urine combined with something you ate which the kidneys and urinary Tract would normally cause your urine to be yellowish in color thus creating the purple effect in your urine. You should consult with a doctor soon. However, he will prescribe a broad Spectrum anti-biotic which should clear this up. Good luck and I hope you get better soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
