Abstract

Abstract : EVIDENCE‐BASED ANSWER : Hypercalciuria and familial microscopic hematuria are the most commonly identified etiologies of microscopic hematuria in children and are considered benign. In contrast, when associated with proteinuria or intermittent gross hematuria, microscopic hematuria has the potential to progress to pathologic renal disease. Patients with microscopic hematuria without proteinuria are unlikely to develop pathologic renal disease (SOR: C, based on observational studies with disease‐oriented outcomes).
