Clinical significance of RBC Cell
Damage in glomerular membrane
Vascular injury in genitourinary tract
Macroscopic hematuria appears
Red-brown urine
Cloudy
Microscopic hematuria appears
Normal color urine w/ microscopic RBC
Clinical significance of Macroscopic Hematuria
Advanced damage of glomerular membrane
And damage in vascular integrity of UT
Due to TRAUMA, ACUTE INFECTION, INFLAMMATION AND COAGULATION DISORDERS
Clinical significance of Microscopic Hematuria
Early diagnosis of glomerular disorder, malignancy and presence of renal calculi
Predominant WBC in WBC cell
Neutrophils
WBC that resembles RBCS
Lymphocyte
Eosinophil appears in
Drug-induced interstitial nephritis
Renal transplant rejection
UTI
Vacuolated WBC
Monocyte, macrophage, histiocytes
Neutrophils under Hypotonic solution will
Bloat/swell
Swelled Neutrophils is called as
Glitter cells
Pyuria
Increased WBC; infection and inflammation of genitourinary tract
Clinical significance: lymphocyte
