hi.... passing blood in urine is known as hematuria and it is not a common finding in children. A common cause of painful hematuria is urinary bladder stones may be due to increased calcium in urine. but there are also many other serious causes of passing blood in urine such as IgA nephropathy, hemolytic uraemic syndrome, HSP, glomerulonephritis, bladder rhabdomyosarcoma (a type of bladder cancer). So I think it is better to evaluate as soon as possible.
