Hello
what you have described is probably AGN (acute glomerulonephritis)if there were also RBC casts in urine along with wbcs.Kindly provide me with the detailed investigations.Also i would like to have ASOT of this child.
Thalassemia minor presents just like iron deficiency anemia.you dnt need to worry about that till her marriage.She should not get married to someone having thalassemia minor,it will result in half of her children to be thalassemia major.
Hope it will help
