The most common cause of haematuria in children is UTI and this should be excluded. Isolated haematuria is not on its own a concern. Please refer to the guideline endorsed by your lead paediatric nephrology centre. Dipstick testing of other family members may identify an inherited abnormality which if present in healthy adults is reassuring. Findings which should prompt discussion with a paediatric nephrologist include:
Proteinuria
Hypertension
Raised creatinine
Family history of renal disease
Family history of hearing problems
Evidence of a vasculitic disease
Abnormal immunology
