New cards
<p></p>

RTE - PCT

  • Larger than other RTEs

  • Columnar, convoluted, rectangular

  • May resemble casts

  • Coarsely granular cytoplasm

  • Examine for presence of nucleus

  • Not seen in clump

2
New cards
<p></p>

RTE - DCT Distal convoluted tubules

  • Round or oval shaped, smaller

  • May be mistaken for WBCs or spherical transitional cells

  • Observe the eccentrically placed nucleus to differentiate from spherical transitional

  • Not seen in clump

Oval fat bodies

  • RTE that absorbed lipid in the filtrate

4
New cards

RTE - Collecting Duct

  • Cuboidal, never round

  • At least one straight edge

  • Eccentric nucleus

  • Three or more cells in clump is renal fragment; often large sheets

5
New cards

Leucine crystals

  • Yellow-brown spheres with concentric circles and radial striations

  • Accompanied by tyrosine crystals

  • Liver disease

  • Acid/neutral

New cards

Granular cast

  • RTE lysosomes, excreted in normal metabolism, more after exercise and activity

  • Disintegration of cellular casts and free cells

<p>WBC cast</p>

WBC cast

  • Seen with infection and inflammation of the nephron

  • Pyelonephritis: WBC casts, bacteria

  • Acute interstitial nephrtitis: WBC casts, no bacteria

  • May accompany RBC casts in glomerulonephritis

  • Mostly neutrophils and lobed nucleus and granules are seen
