Sport hematuria in boys: a provocative test

Cesare Polito et al. Pediatr Nephrol. 2005 Aug.

Abstract

Sports hematuria has been described in adult athletes. We report on two boys with gross hematuria after soccer matches. Urinalysis was negative for hematuria at the first visit. A simple test of effort provoked the phenomenon and allowed the detection of the post-renal origin of bleeding and the rapid resolution of hematuria. Such a test may be particularly helpful after the first episode, when it is problematic to postulate a cause-effect relationship between exercise and hematuria on the basis of the patients' history.
