They are smaller than those from the bladder,but larger than those from the ureters, the epithelia from which latterare almost always present with those from the pelves.

The epithelia are frequently no URINARY ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS. seen with uric-acid gravel, which causes an irritation or inflammation ofthe pelvis. Epithelia from the Ureters.—Epithelia from the ureters are rarelyfound alone, but usually with those from the pelvis. Their characteristicshape in the urine in most cases is round, globular, or slightly irregular,.

They cannot be dif-ferentiated from the epithelia of the prostate gland, which they closelyresemble. Their number in the urine is, as a rule, small; and the fact oftheir being associated with epithelia from the kidney and pelvis of kidneymakes their diagnosis easy. Occasionally small columnar epithelia fromthe deepest layer are seen. These are caudate or pear-shaped and arefound in deep-seated processes, such as ulcerations due to impacted cal-culi or tubercular lesions. In traumatism, which may be due to ureteralcatheterization, they are not rarely present in the urine. Epithelia from the Uriniferous Tubules of Kidneys (see Fig. 52).—Epithelia from the uriniferous tubules are the most important of all theepithelia found in the urine and those most frequently over
