Question
Repeated urine tests have shown the presence of hematuria++, but the cause cannot be determined. I’ve been weak and prone to illness since childhood, easily catching colds. I’m not sure if it’s related to the kidneys, and I’m unsure of the underlying cause. The duration of this illness and its persistence: over a month. Previous diagnoses and treatment experiences and outcomes: Multiple tests could not determine the cause, only stating that the liver is fine.
Answer
Consider 1) purpura nephritis, 2) pediatric nephritis. This situation is quite common; do not worry. Often, when kidney capillaries are affected and undergo changes, microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria may occur. A single test cannot make a definitive diagnosis. It is recommended that you take the child to a regular professional hospital for examination before proceeding with treatment. The child’s illness at this time cannot be delayed; prompt treatment can lead to a quick recovery.
