Answers:

A new student in the UA lab encounters the one example of the element seen below and becomes extremely worried. What element is seen below and why should the student not be concerned? Answer: The formed element seen in the picture is a hyaline cast. Though hyaline casts can be pathological in large numbers, only 1 cast was observed in the entire urine. The student should not be worried about the cast because the reference range for hyaline casts is 0-2/lpf.
