Hi welcome to healthcare magic,
IgA Nephropathy is the most commonest cause of Hematuria i.e bloodstained urine.In very few children it progresses to nephritis . Yes children who develop nephritis can have hypertension too . Treatment is just symptomatic i.e salt restriction , taking drugs to control hypertension and a regular check up to see the functioning of kidneys. There is no permanant cure though it can be controlled .Yeah there has been reported data that fish oils offer some benefit .

i feel pity on that, blood in the urine every time if she gets cold is horrible. children are frequently prone to cold and cough, do yu mean every time she has blood in urine. please not to neglect meet a kidney doctor as soon as possible.
