dear parent, here are the causes of haematuria in children and how to diagnose according to associated symptoms
1) if there is clots of blood in urine, this is extraglomerular cause
2) if there is fever, dysuria, abdominal pain, this is urinary tract infection
3) if this happen following a trauma to abdomen, then this is hydronephrosis
4) if the child suffer from early morning puffiness, weight gain, oliguria and dark colored urine, this suggest a glomerular cause
5) recent throat or skin infection suggest post infectious glomerulonephritis
6) skin rash and arthritis may suggest henoch schonlein purpura
