Case Scenerio Redwan , 6 years old boy, 3 rd issue of his non consanguineous parents, got admitted with the complaints of generalized swelling of body for 7days along with scanty micturition and passage of red colored urine for same duration. O/E, he had puffy face with generalized oedema . He was mildly pale, anicteric , BP: 130/80mm of Hg (> 99 th centile ) & BSUA ++. Genitourinary system examination revealed abdomen was distended; ascites present. Provisional Diagnosis Acute Glomerulonephritis

Approach to a child w ith Hematuria
History + symptom analysis Physical findings Lab investigations
History Age : 5-12 yrs : PSGN 2-8 yrs : HSP <4 yrs : HUS 2-5 yrs : Wilms tumor 2 nd decade: IgA nephropathy Sex : F >>M in > 1-2 yrs : UTI F >>M : SLE nephritis M>F : X-linked form of Alport syndrome Race : whites : Idiopathic hypercalciuria blacks : Sickle cell disease
History contd … Amount of urine : Reduced in AGN, AKI Clots in urine : Extraglomerular Frequency , Dysuria, recent enuresis : UTI Frothy urine : Suggests Proteinuria seen in Glomerular diseases Hematuria in relation to time of micturition : Initial stream – from urethra (Urethrorrhagia – spotting In underwear ) Terminal – from bladder (with suprapubic pain, disturbance of micturition) Throughout the urinary stream - glomerular
Associated Symptoms Fever Infection SLE AGN Facial puffiness Oedema of legs weight gain Shortness of breath Acute Glomerulonephritis
Glomerular VS Non glomerular Features Glomerular hematuria Non-glomerular hematuria Pattern of hematuria: Hematuria throughout urinary stream. Initial, terminal. Urinary symptoms: Painless. Dysuria, urgency, frequency Associated feature: Sore throat, hypertension, edema. Fever, colicky pain. Family history: Deafness, renal failure. Renal stone, urinary infection. Clinical HTN, edema: Usually present Less common
Features Glomerular hematuria Non-glomerular hematuria color Tea colored. Bright red, blood clots. Proteinuria 2+ or more on dipstick; protein creatinine ratio>1. Trace to 1+; protein creatinine ratio<1. Dysmorphic RBC >20%. <15%, eumorphic . Cellular cast RBC cast, leukocyte or tubular cast may be present Absent Crystal absent May be present Glomerular VS Non glomerular Urinalysis
No No How to investigate a case of Hematuria P hysiological cause like viral illness, exercise, trauma, menstruation Take History & do physical examination Do Urine R/E including phase contrast microscopy Do a dipstick test & exclude ABCDE ( ABCDE are Dipstick – ve ) A= Alkaptonuria B= billirubinuria C= Carotinemia D=Drugs E= Endocrine/Metabolic- Porphyria +
Role of Urine examination A. Urinanalysis 1. Urine dipstick test Based on the peroxidase-like activity of hemoglobin. Positive in presence of- Hb , Myoglobin & RBC False + ve : Urine pH >9, H2O2 False – ve : High ascorbic acid, formalin 2. Urine R/M/E RBC, protein, RBC cast Pus cells, WBC cast Crystalluria Eosinophil Glomerular disease UTI Urolithiasis , Nephrocalcinosis Interstitial nephritis 3. Urine C/S Number & type of bacteria UTI RBC: False negative in case of low specific gravity or alkaline pH as it causes hemolysis . Phase Contrast microscopy >90-95% isomorphic >20% dysmorphic

Significant proteinuria (>1g/1.73m2/day) except Post- infectious GN. Recurrent persistent hematuria (Microscopic >2yrs) Recurrent gross hematuria Abnormal renal function, Persistent HTN Hematuria , Proteinuria , diminished renal function, low C3 level persist beyond 2 mo of onset of AGN Serologic abnormalities (abnormal ANA or dsDNA levels) A family history of end stage renal disease. Indication of Renal biopsy
Urinanalysis of siblings & parents: Thin glomerular basement membrane disease Urine Ca/ Creatinine ratio: > 0.2 in Idiopathic hypercalciuria . 24hrs urine for Calcium, uric acid, oxalate : Urolithiasis & Nephrocalcinosis Cystogram & renal scan .

Management
Hematuria is a clinical (or laboratory) sign, not a diagnosis. Treatment is according to cause. Reassurance and F/U: isolated microscopic hematuria , familial microscopic haematuria . Antibiotics : To treat cystitis, pyelonephritis Supportive treatment: Proper nutrition Diuretics Fluid and salt restriction Antihypertensives General Management
Adequate fluid intake Appropriate antibiotic Prophylactic antibiotic when indicated . UTI
Salt, fruit & fluid restriction Diuretics Antihypertensive Antibiotics Treatment of complication Prognosis 98% complete recovery within 1-2 weeks 1% immediate mortality 1% may proceed to chronic GN/CKD 0.7-7% recurrence PSGN
Prednisolone MMF, cyclosporine, azathioprim IV methylprednisolone , IV/oral cyclophosphamide Immunosuppressive in different combination Prognosis Not good 50% turn into CKD within 10 years 90% turn into CKD within 20 years Rx: RRT Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Treatment according to staging Immunosuppressive therapy Prednisolone Cyclophosphamide MMF Prognosis Relapse: 33% Childhood onset: worse prognosis SLE Nephritis
Mild disease: no specific therapy Persistent proteinuria : ACEi , corticosteroid Severe nephritis/ Nephrotic syndrome: corticosteroids & cytotoxic drugs. Crescentic glomerulonephritis : IV corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide , plasma exchange in nonresponsive cases. Prognosis 15-40% at least 1 recurrence <1% ESRD HSP Nephritis
ACE inhibitor Immune suppressive: prednisolone , azathioprime Omega 3 fatty acid, fish oil Prognosis Good in children RPGN: bad prognosis ESRD: 30-40% cases in 3 rd to 4 th decade Ig A nephropathy
ACE inhibitor Renal replacement Prognosis 60% ESRD by 60 years 40% ESRD by 40 years Alport Syndrome
Avoid dehydration High liquid intake Moderate salt restriction Avoidance of high protein(animal protein) diet Avoid excess dietary calcium Citrate supplementation Thiazide diuretics Idiopathic hypercalciuria
Usually benign. Episodic gross hematuria in association with acute infection. Prognosis: favorable. Follow up: annually for proteinuria & hypertension. Thin Basement Membrane Disease
Every case of hematuria should be properly evaluated. Isolated asymptomatic microscopic hematuria can be an incidental finding. Most of the cases it possess no threat to health, only reassurance & F/U is needed. Gross & microscopic hematuria with family history/additional findings are usually pathological. Proper evaluation & family screening can elicit a diagnosis. With early diagnosis and proper treatment of most of the disease related to hematuria can be well managed. Take home message
