    Author: Mishra K, Kumar M, Patel A, Singh L, Zanak KD.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2022 Jan 15; 59(1):25-27. PubMed ID: 33506806.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the demographic, clinical and etiological profile of macroscopic hematuria in children presenting to a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: This prospective observational study, conducted between January, 2018 and December, 2019, enrolled children aged 3 months to 12 years, presenting with gross hematuria. RESULTS: Of the 62 children (44 males) enrolled, (mean (SD) age of 7.3 (2.6) years), glomerular hematuria was seen in 59.7%. Post-infectious glomerulonephritis was the commonest etiology of glomerular hematuria; hypercalciuria and renal calculi predominated among non-glomerular hematuria. After a median (IQR) follow up of 8 (6,14.2) months, microscopic hematuria persisted in 10 (7, glomerular hematuria) children. The median time to resolution of gross as well as microscopic hematuria tended to be longer in glomerular etiologies. CONCLUSION: Majority of children with gross hematuria had glomerular etiologies, thus requiring monitoring and follow-up.
