A member asked:

8y/o son has trace amounts of blood and protein on urinalysis no other symptoms. father has iga. pediatrician not concerned. further work up needed?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Repeat test: your pediatrician is likely correct given the trace findings. However it is probably a good idea to repeat the test in another 30 days since it is inexpensive and non-invasive.
