The nature of urinary casts.

Protein composition of urinary casts from healthy subjects and patients with glomerulonephritis.

Urinary casts from 46 healthy volunteers and 60 patients with glomerulonephritis were examined for the presence of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein and other proteins. All samples gave immunofluorescence evidence of Tamm-Horsfall protein in casts. Casts from 59 of the patients but only three of the controls contained other proteins in addition (p less than 0.001).

Atypical case of AL amyloidosis with urinary erythrocyte casts

We present the case of a 73-year-old man who developed an acute, severe febrile illness with multiorgan dysfunction, featuring renal failure, nephrotic-range proteinuria, microhematuria, and a skin rash. Numerous erythrocyte casts were found on urine microscopy. Typically, the finding of urinary erythrocyte casts indicates the presence of an underlying glomerular inflammatory disease. However, ...

Sedimentary structures and depositional environment of the Ashin Formation in Nakhlak area, Central Iran

Middle to Upper Triassic (Upper Ladinian to Lower Carnian) deep-sea sedimentary rocks crop out across a large area west of Nakhlak village, Central Iran and have been named Ashin Formation. The up to 304m thick, turbiditic, siliciclastic Ashin Formation consists of alternating turbiditic, thin- and medium-bedded calcareous sandstones, purple, fine-grained volcaniclastic sandstones, and mostly g...
