Descriptions
Casts are small mucoprotein tube-shaped structures formed in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidney. White blood cell (WBC) casts contain WBCs in their matrix and are most frequently detected in acute pyelonephritis, a direct infection of the kidney. They may also be seen in inflammations, such as acute allergic interstitial nephritis or post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
The presence of white blood cells within or upon casts strongly suggests pyelonephritis, a direct infection of the kidney. They may also be seen in inflammations, such as acute allergic interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, or post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis. White cells sometimes can be difficult to discern from epithelial cells and may require special staining. Differentiation from simple clumps of white cells can be made by the presence of hyaline matrix. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
