bleach and urine- red colour?

hi, so id cleaned the toilet and put bleach down it, and then in the morning i went to the toilet and my urine looked dark red/black. I cant remember if id flushed the toilet the night before after putting bleach in it. Could it be the bleach thats causing the red colour, or do you think its blood? it hasnt happened since.

Update:

thanks. hmmm iv tried putting bleach on top of it like you said but it doesnt seem to be going red?

    Done the same. Bleach and pee turn red. Nothing to worry about. Beetroot will also turn pee red. Asparagus will turn it green.

    Funny old world.

    Personally i dont think it is blood. Well it could be a reaction with the urine and the bleach since you let it sit for hours. If it only happened once, i think its not a problem. Eating certain foods cause red urine too. You could pee in the toilet and put bleach in it and let it sit for hours while you sleep and see whether you get similar results.

    It is the bleach as same happened to me – I am a cleaner in the school and put the bleach tablets down toilet and went on break and when i came back for a pee i almost died when i saw the colour and then realised bleach was down the toilet, next time i peed it was normal colour, Good Luck

    I have Crohn’s disease and take Pentasa (mesalazine) to treat it. Since taking this is my urine – even splashes- go anywhere near not just bleach liquid, but the fumes that come off it, it makes dark red/brown stains.

    Cleaned the toilet bowl with a product containing bleach and left it to stand for a couple of hours. I forgot the bleach was in the toilet bowl and urinated and saw my urine had turned the color of iced tea. I know it was not due to any kidney, bladder or urinary tract condition because I had just undergone a series of tests on my urinary tract including a CAT scan and all tests were normal/negative.
