An Adolescent Boy With Hypoxia, Microscopic Hematuria, and Hypertension

Abstract

A 13-year-old boy presented with hypoxia, microscopic hematuria, and elevated blood pressures. Persistent microscopic hematuria and hypertension led to investigation of glomerular and non-glomerular causes of hematuria. After reviewing his clinical course, family history, and laboratory testing, an additional test was sent, revealing the diagnosis.
