Fatty degeneration inFatty casts. the cells would be reflected in the fatty cast. Adherent desqua-Epithciiat casts, mated cells would form the epithelial cast, adherent blood-cellsBlood casts. the blood cast, etc. It is reasonable to suppose that the basis is the same for all varieties, and that in the hyaline, waxy, and fibrinous casts we have but slight variations in structure, though the conditions attending their presence may be quite different and distinct, and Hyaline cast. their significance definite and important. The hyaline cast is. Fig. 97.—Granular Casts. Light and dark, coarse and finely granular. transparent, and shows an apparently homogeneous structure;its size is variable, its ends are rounded, and its sides are nearlyparallel. Its shape is best shown in the illustration. (See Fig. 95.) Unless careful focusing and proper shading of the light be em-ployed, it will certainly escape detection. (See Fig. 94.) Representing, as these hyaline casts do, the least degree ofpathologic or at least of inflammatory change, it becomes at timesa difficult question to determine their significance and correctlyestimate their importance. Some observers report them aspresent in nearly every urine if the centrifuge be employed.
