What Causes Persistent Blood And Protein In Urine?
Question: My 12 year old daughter has blood and protein in her urine as well as daily stomach pains for about the past 2 months. What do you think this could be?
Brief Answer:
Urine
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Persistent blood and protein in the urine could be related to menses. However, it could also be kidney related, namely inflammation of the kidneys. This is often caused by a virus.
In pediatrics, kidney ailments that cause this can be treated and alleviated. But it does take some testing to figure out what exactly the cause is. She will likely have some bloodwork done and possibly a sonogram of her kidneys. Once the cause is determined, they will be able to treat it.
