Granular casts
Abbreviation:
Platform:
General physical examination with blood laboratory tests
Detection item:
Routine physical examination
Data type:
String type
Description:
Tubules in the kidneys secrete proteins. Under some circumstances, these proteins precipitate out to form little cylindrical impressions of the tubules called casts. If anything is present in the tubules at the time, it gets trapped in the protein casts. This offers a "snap shot" of the tubular lumen at the time of cast formation.
