2013, Clinica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :Casts are well known components of the urinary sediment, whose classification includes: hyaline, granular (with fine or coarse granules), waxy, fatty, cellular (i.e., erythrocytic, leukocytic, and epithelial, which contain renal tubular epithelial cells [RTEC]), pigmented (i.e., hemoglobinic, myoglobinic, bilirubinic), containing microorganisms or crystals, and mixed (i.e., hyaline-granular, waxy-granular, waxy-cellular, etc.)[2,3]. While data on the frequency and/or clinical associations can be found in the literature about hyaline, hyaline-granular, granular, fatty, erythrocytic, leukocytic and epithelial casts [4–16], to our knowledge no information is available about waxy casts (WaC). This although they are structures which were already well known in the second half of the 19th century [17–19].
