What Do Presence Of Granular Casts In Urinalysis Indicate?

detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
It is true that the presence of granular casts in urinalysis is seen in kidney disease.
Granular casts most commonly represent disintegrated
epithelial cells, leukocytes, or protein.In some cases ,they can be found in urine after a strenuous physical activity.
This finding usually is evaluated in relation to other findings in urinalysis, in clinical presentation,kidney function tests etc.
If all other findings are normal ,the presence of granular casts is not of concern.It is usually associated with states of dehydration and can be present in healthy individuals.
I would suggest to repeat urinalysis ,just to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps to clarify your doubts.
Let me know if you need further help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
