Clinical Microscopy Test 5

The centrifuged sediment for a random urine sample collected from a 17-year-old female patient is shown in the photomicrograph.

Urinary casts are primarily composed of:

Examination for casts should be performed:

Which of the following casts is most likely to be found in a urine sample from an apparently healthy person?

Which of the following casts is most indicative of renal failure/end stage renal disease?

Shortly after collection of a random urine sample, the laboratorian performed a microscopic urinalysis and reported the results shown in the table:

The urine sediment is reevaluated by a trainee 2 hours later and similar values were reported for the WBC, RBC, and bacteria, but they found no hyaline casts. The most probable explanation for this discrepancy is that the casts dissolved due to a(n):
