title: [Hematuria in children].
abstract: A symptomatic hematuria is very common in pediatrics and adolescence. In contrast to painless adult hematuria, the differential diagnosis and investigative modalities in the pediatric population is vastly different. This article presents the major diseases that may cause hematuria in children and suggests an evaluation algorithm for the pediatric urologist.
