Hi Leeza,
Sorry to hear about your son.
Just speculating here... Your son's concentrated urine may be a result of not drinking enough water. This may be an issue with some of the medications he may have to take as the metabolates can be hard on the bladder. Staying hydrated and more frequent urination helps with this.
A couple of questions, if I may: Is your son being treated by a Vasculitis specialist? If you live in eastern PA, you are close to University of Pennsylvania where there are some. If you live in western PA, you may be closer to Cleveland Clinic where my rheumy treats me (and some other forum members). How was your son diagnosed? Is he on any other meds besides methotrexate?
Hope he gets into remission soon. With proper care, he can live a near normal life. Good luck!!
Pete
