A

HTN and DM

31
Q

What do the following mean on a microscopic UA?

Leukocytes, leukocyte casts without bacteria
Normal-shaped erythrocytes
Dysmorphic erythrocytes
Erythrocyte casts
Waxy, granular or cellular casts
Eosinophiluria
Hyaline casts

A

Fatty casts, free fat or oval fat bodies = nephrotic range proteinuria (>3.5g/24h)
Leukocytes, leukocyte casts with bacteria = UTI
Leukocytes, leukocyte casts without bacteria = Renal interstitial disease
Normal-shaped erythrocytes = suggest lower urinary tract lesion
Dysmorphic erythrocytes = suggest upper urinary tract lesion
Erythrocyte casts = glomerular disease
Waxy, granular or cellular casts = advanced chronic renal isease
Eosinophiluria = suggests drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis
Hyaline casts = no renal disease; present with dehydration and with diuretic therapy.

32
Q

35
Q

If you had many clots, normal RBCs, no casts and proteinuria <500mg/day and pink urine, would you suspect glomerular or extraglomerular bleeding
