Renal Epithelial Cells with Fatty Degeneration in Urine

Morphology of renal epithelial cells with fatty degeneration in urine sediment: microscopy of native preparation, size and light refraction of lipid droplets.

Renal epithelial cells with fatty degeneration. Cells are significantly enlarged (2-4 times larger than a leukocyte), densely packed with fat droplets. When viewed at low magnification, they strongly refracted light, appearing as dark brown spots. Native preparation, magnification x400
