Question

what microscopic finding is manifested by glomerulonephritis?
hyaline casts
red blood cell casts
white blood cell casts
renal tubular epithelial cell casts

Explanation:

Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli. Red - blood cell casts are characteristic microscopic findings in glomerulonephritis as damage to the glomerular basement membrane allows red blood cells to enter the urine and form casts in the renal tubules. Hyaline casts are more commonly associated with normal or concentrated urine. White - blood cell casts are typical of pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidney parenchyma). Renal tubular epithelial cell casts are seen in acute tubular necrosis and other tubular disorders.

Answer:

B. Red blood cell casts
