Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most common causes of microscopic hematuria include UTI, poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, hypercalciuria, and structural abnormalities. Trauma would more likely cause gross hematuria. The other two questions are appropriate depending on the age and sex of the child, but do not assess for the most common reasons for this finding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The kidneys regulate renin, a hormone that controls blood pressure. Kidney abnormalities often affect renin, leading to hypertension. In a child this young, the kidney disease most likely came first; in adults, long-standing hypertension is a frequent cause of renal disease. Medications are not the reason. The typical renal diet is low in sodium.
