| Cuboidal Cells Increased numbers of cuboidal cells are found in renal transplant rejection, acute tubular necrosis (diuretic phase), injuries that interrupt blood flow to the kidney, and acute glomerulonephritis accompanied by tubular damage. Ingestion of various drugs and chemicals may cause significant tubular shedding of these epithelial cells. Cuboidal cells are easily seen in urine in cases of salicylate intoxication. | View Page |
| Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Another type of epithelial cell is the renal tubular epithelial cell. The proximal and distal convoluted tubules are the sites of origin for one form of these cells. They occur singly and are large (14-60 microns). Papancolaou stain is useful in distinguishing renal tubular cells from other mononuclear cells in urine. Increased numbers of proximal and distal convoluted renal epithelial cells are seen in cases of acute tubular necrosis and certain drug or heavy metal intoxication. | View Page |
