What Causes Blood In Urine Of A Child?

hello, my four year old daughter has had about two maybe three UTI and now they said there was blood in her urine.this is her second time that they have found blood in the urine but the first time they made me retest and it came back fine and normal. now about 2 months later they found blood in her urine again. what could that mean and could it be related to high cholesterol in anyway, which they also just told me she had?

hi, most common cause of blood in urine is urinary tract infection, kindly do urine routine microscopy and urine culture test. And ultrasound k u b should be done to rule out renal Stones. In Renal stones also there can be blood in urine. The child should be investigated for diseases like tuberculosis, chronic infection which can lead to blood in urine. Antibiotic treatment should be started based on urine routine microscopy and urine culture report. Take care.
