What does epithelial cells in urine mean?
Epithelial cells in urine generally means that the urine was not a clean mid-stream collection. Epithelial cells, are lining cells of the urethra and are constantly being turned over and sloughed. These cells are commonly called squamous epithelial cells. These cells can also indicate vaginal or perianal contamination. By voiding the first few mL of urine before collecting, there should be a very minimal amount of epithelial cells in the urine. There should only be concern when the epithelial cells found are determined to be renal epithelial cells. And are only concerning in high concentrations. These cells come from the renal tubules and can be a sign of renal disease and should be followed up by your physician.
What does mean when there is few epithelial cells present in urine?
Urine is a generally thought of as a sterile body fluid, therefore, evidence of white blood cells or bacteria in the urine is considered abnormal and may suggest a urinary tract infection such as, bladder infection (cystitis), infection of kidney (pyelonephritis). White blood cells may be detected in the urine through a microscopic examination (pyuria or leukocytes in the blood). They can be seen under high power field and the number of cells are recorded (quantitative).
Is Testicular cancer found in the connective tissue cells or the epithelial cells of the semiferous tubules?
epithelial cells of the semiinferous tubules.
Explain the meaning of squamous epithelial cells?
Squamous epithelial cells are a sub-type of epithelial cells (cells which line glands and the inner and outer surfaces of the body). These cells are characterized as being very thin and flat epithelial cells and populate organs such as the skin and esophagus.
Taste receptor cells are modified as what kind of cells?
Taste receptor cells are modified epithelial cells.
Why do you find renal epithelial cells in urine?
What does it mean when there are higher than normal levels of renal epithelial cells in urine?
Mucoprotein excreted by the epithelial cells of the renal tubes?
Casts

What is Epithelial cells non renal?
It means that the cells that line structures were found, but they were not the type found in the kidneys.
What does a renal clearance test so?

What if you have Ep cells in urine?
There are different types of epithelial cells that can be observed in urine. These may transitional, renal tubular, squamous, or neoplasia.
Which parts of the renal tubule is formed by cuboidal epithelial cells bordered by dense microvilli?
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
What epithelial cells non renal mean in the urine?
Epithelial cells are the cells your body uses to line tubes, among other things, and the term renal refers to the kidney. So they are saying that in the urine they found some cells that normally line tubes, but they could tell they weren't from the kidney. This could mean they came from the bladder, the ureters, urethra, or even someplace else.

What are the target cells affected by aldosterone?
The target cells of aldosteron are in the distal convulated tubules. Aldosteron there spreads into the cells, makes complexes with the receptors of the nucleus and codes for genes that are responsible for the proteins (e.g. sodium permease) and ferments (citratsintase, carboanhidrase) that are important for the transfer of sodium ions.
