Suggest Treatment For Blood In Urine In Case Of A Child
Hello doc,for few days now I see drops of blood my 10 yr old daughter s urine.A urine test[the presence of red cells in urine were many ] ,blood test[showed MCV 52{very low}as it should be btn 76-96} and ultra sound was done the result was normal, there was no sign of anything being wrong with her kidneys nor anything else.One doc advices us to do cystoscopy.Please advice.We are told that her iron level is too low though she eats well.She has thelesemia minor.
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
