advanced tubular destruction, producing urinary stasis
along with disruption of the tubular linings.

Answer 17

EPITHELIAL CELL CASTS

Question 18

most frequently encountered

WBC and RTE cell casts, or WBC and bacterial casts
in pyelonephritis.

Answer 18

mixed cellular cast

seen in conjunction with WBC casts
contain WBC granules of varying sizes

Answer 24

wider than normal cast

Answer 29

broad cast
