Increased WBCs and bacteria indicative of a UTI. RBCs suggesting possible glomerular disease, trauma, or urinary tract malignancies. Renal tubular epithelial cells indicating acute tubular necrosis. Specific types of casts, such as granular casts, suggesting acute kidney injury. Crystals that may indicate metabolic disorders or predisposition to kidney stones.
