Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical and renal pathologic features of isolated hematuria in children and the relationship between them. Methods A retrospective review of 251 cases of isolated hematuria undergone renal biopsy from 1995 to 2008 in our hospital were conducted to analyze their clinical manifestations and renal pathologic features. Results Among the pathologic changes, minor abnormalities was found in 93 cases (37.05%), normal biopsies in 62 cases (24.70%), IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in 52 cases (20.72%), thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) in 17 cases(6.77%), mesangial proliferative giomerulonephritis(MsPGN) in 16 cases (6.37%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 5 cases (1.99%), focal proliferative glomerulonephritis (FPGN) in 5 cases (1.99%), capillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (EnPGN) in 1 case (0.40%). IgAN was more popular in gross hematuria group than that in microscopic hematuria group (31.88% vs 16.48%, P＜0.05). zcording to Haas classification, the ratio of class Ⅲ in two groups had no statistical significance (microscopic vs gross: 16.67% vs 4.55%, P＞0.05). In the 35 cases (102 cases were detected) with elevated urinary microalbuminuria, the proportion of IgAN Ⅲ was significantly higher than those cases without urinary microalbuminuria (14.28% vs 0%, P＜0.01). There were more FSGS and FPGN (total 20.00%) and less minor abnormalities (28.57%) in these cases as compared to the normal albuminuria cases (1.49% and 58.21%, all P＜0.01). Conclusion The main pathologic changes of isolated hematuria in children are minor abnormalities, normal and IgAN. IgAN is more popular in the cases with gross hematuria. Elevated urinary microalbuminuria may be an indicator of more serious pathologic changes in children with isolated hematuria.
