| Abstract: | Hematuria is a rare complication seen in patients with hemoglobin C trait. We report a 15-year-old African-American female with hemoglobin C trait, who presented with persistent hematuria. None of the urological, serological or histological workups revealed any other pathology. Hematuria failed to respond to all conventional modalities used in the treatment of the same condition seen in sickling hemoglobinopathies. This case is the first known case of persistent hematuria in a pediatric patient with hemoglobin C trait, which resolved with intravenous urea administration.
