Introduction
Hematuria means blood in urine.It may be Gross or macroscopic and microscopic
hematuriaGross hematuria is seen by naked eyes while
microscopic hematuria needs microscope. Hematuria is defined as the presence of at least 5 red blood cells per HPF of centrifuged urine and/or 5 RBC per microliter in uncentrifuged specimen
• Pathophysiology:
Structural disruption in the integrity of glomerular basement membrane caused by inflammatory or immunologic processes
Toxic disruptions of the renal tubules
Mechanical erosion of mucosal surfaces in the genitourinary tract
Causes of Hematuria:
A) Glomerular hematuria
Isolated renal disease
-Postinfectious GN (Post streptococcal)- IgA nephropathy( Berger ds)- Alport syndrome( hereditary )- Thin Glomerular Basement membrane
disease- Membranoproliferative GN- Membranous nephropathy - Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis - Antiglomerular basement membrane
ds
Multisystem disease
-HSP nephritis -SLE nephritis-HUS-Wegener granulomatosis-Polyarteritis nodosa-Goodpasture syndrome-HIV nephropathy-Sickle cell glomerulopathy
B) Extraglomerular hematuria

General Approach to Investigate the child with
Hematuria
Investigations:• Urine dipstick test: Based on the
peroxidase-like activity of hemoglobin
• It can detect trace amounts of hemoglobin and myoglobin.
• Can detect 5-10 intact RBC per mm3 of unspun urine
• False +ve: Urine pH >9, H2O2
• False –ve: High ascorbic acid, formalin
• Also for urine albumin
Investigations:
Glomerular1. Brown, cola coloured or smoky2. RBC casts
3. Proteinuria 2+ or more 4. Deformed urinary RBCs
Non - glomerular1. Bright red, pink2.Terminal hematuria/ Passage of clots3. Proteinuria of < 2+4. Normal morphology of RBCs
Urine microscopy: Presence of RBCs and casts (> 5 RBCs per HPF) in centrifuged urine
Study on Evaluation of hematuria using the urinary albumin-to-total-protein ratio to differentiate glomerular and nonglomerular bleeding
•N. Ohisa · R. Matsuki · H. Suzuki · H. Miura · Y. Ohisa · K. YoshidaDepartment of Clinical Laboratory, Tohoku University Hospital,Sendai, Japan•microscopy-based differentiation is not only tedious but the sensitivity and specificity may vary from one examiner to another. Furthermore, once
the specimen has been frozen, differentiation becomes difficult.•A total of 143 random urine specimens from patients seen at the Division of Nephrology, Endocrinology and Vascular Disease and the Urology Department at Tohoku University Hospital were included in the study. The inclusion criterion
for the study was a diagnosis of glomerular disease based on clinical features or histopathology with hematuria (5 or more RBCs per high-power fi eld). Of the 104 patients diagnosed with glomerular disease and 39 specimens from patients with nonglomerular disease, used as controls in the study.
• With respect to the albumin-to-total-protein ratio, the mean value in the glomerular disease group was 0.72 } 0.10, whereas the mean in the nonglomerular �disease group was 0.35 } 0.17 (� P < 0.001). The distribution of the albumin-to-total-protein ratio in the glomerular and nonglomerular disease groups was clearly differentiated. Sensitivity and specificity as a function of the albumin-to-total-protein ratio. At a ratio cutoff of 0.59, sensitivity and specificity was maximized at 96.2% and 100%, respectively.
Distribution of urinary albumin-to-total-protein ratio in glomerular and nonglomerular hematuria. The mean albumin-to-totalprotein ratio in the glomerular disease group was signifi cantly higher than that in the nonglomerular disease group. A cutoff of 0.59 excluded all nonglomerular disease cases, while detecting all but three glomerular disease cases. Gl, glomerular disease; non-Gl, nonglomerular disease; vertical axis, albumin-to-total-protein ratio; horizontal axis, glomerular disease, nonglomerular disease

restriction, Antihypertensives– Monitoring – BP, I/O, weight, Urine R/M– Treat Hyperkalemia, ARF, CHF, acidosis, fluid
overload, HTN and its complications– ACE inhibitors useful in proteinuria– Immunosuppressive therapy: Depending on cause
(Steroids, cyclophosphamide)
