  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs
    A common cause of hematuria in children, UTIs occur when bacteria infect the urinary system, leading to inflammation and blood leakage into the urine.

    Stones forming in the kidneys or urinary tract can scrape the delicate tissues, causing hematuria.

  • Injury or Trauma:
    Physical injury to the kidneys or bladder during sports or accidents may result in blood in the urine.

  • Congenital Abnormalities:
    Structural abnormalities in the urinary tract can cause recurring hematuria in children.

  • Glomerulonephritis:
    Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli) may result in blood and protein leakage into the urine.

  • Hereditary Disorders:
    Conditions like Alport syndrome or sickle cell disease can lead to recurrent hematuria in children.
