A nurse taking care of a patient diagnosed with heart failure and
prerenal AKI (acute kidney injury) notes that "casts" are now
present on the patient's urinalysis report. Which statement best
describes the pathophysiologic rational for casts in this patient?
a) As kidney tubular cells die, they slough off into the urinary
tubules then are reabsorbed into the peritubular capillaries,
causing arterial blockages called casts.
b) Elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen cause the formation of
crystals within the kidney tubular cells. These crystals are
known as casts.
c) Casts are evidence of dead kidney tubular cells as a result of
the low cardiac output and prolonged ischemia from the heart
failure problem.
d) Oliguria has caused fluid volume overload. With a fluid
volume overload, more pressure is exerted on Bowman's
capsule, causing the formation of casts. Correct Answers c)
