AB Hematuria  is  a  relatively  common  abnormality.  About  0.25%  of  school-age  children  have  persistent  microscopic  hematuria.  In  adults  the  prevalence  of  hematuria  increases  with  age  and  is  greater  in  women.  The  causes  and  consequently  the  workup  of  hematuria  vary  with  age.  Glomerular  disorders  are  responsible  for  most  cases  of  pediatric  hematuria,  while  urinary  tract  malignancy  is  an  important  cause  of  hematuria  in  individuals  over  40  years  of  age.
