pink diaper syndrome in newborns, a
benign phenomenon in which a red-brown spot of urine in the diaper is caused by
urate crystals. Many substances discolor urine, such as pigments (eg, hemoglobin,
myoglobin), food substances (eg, beets, blackberries), drugs (eg, rifampin,
pyridium, nitrofurantoin, metronidazole), and organic biochemicals
(eg, porphyrins, methemoglobin)
i'd use 791.9
