granular casts and hyaline casts
Explanation:
Urinary Casts
Alternate Names : Casts in the Urine, Epithelial Casts, Fatty Casts, Granular Casts, Hyaline Cast, Renal Tubular Casts, Waxy Casts

Definition

Urinary casts tests measure the presence and type of casts (small tubules) in urine.

Why is the Test Performed?

The test is performed to evaluate the presence of certain conditions, such as kidney infections, glomerular diseases, interstitial kidney diseases, and as part of the evaluation for abnormal kidney function.


Urinary Casts
Composition: Casts are cylindrical structures composed mainly of mucoprotein (the Tamm-Horsefall mucoprotein) which is secreted by epithelial cells lining the loops of Henle, the distal tubules and the collecting ducts. The factors responsible for the precipitation of this mucoprotein are not fully understood, but may relate to the concentration and pH of urine in these areas. Casts may form in the presence or absence of cells in the tubular lumen. If cells (epithelial cells, WBC) are present as a cast forms, they may adhere to, and subsequently be surrounded by, the fibrillar protein network.
