[1] [2] However, both can lead to widespread inflammation and multiple blood clots in small blood vessels, a condition known as thrombotic microangiopathy. [7] Treatment involves supportive care and may include dialysis, steroids, blood transfusions, or plasmapheresis. [1] [2] About 1.5 per 100,000 people are affected per year.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus. [1] Signs and symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal pain, deep gasping breathing, increased urination, weakness, confusion and occasionally loss of consciousness. [1]
Waxy casts are broad casts, which is a more general term to describe the wider cast product of a dilated duct, and are seen in chronic kidney failure. In nephrotic syndrome , many additional types of casts exist, including broad and waxy casts if the condition is chronic (this is referred to as a telescopic urine with the presence of many casts).
These casts are characteristically found in people with glomerular diseases such as acute glomerulonephritis and lupus nephritis. [119] White blood cell casts represent infection or inflammation involving the kidneys; [120] they can occur in pyelonephritis, but are absent in lower urinary tract infections. [121]

[2] The term "anion gap" without qualification usually implies serum anion gap . The "urine anion gap" is a different measure, principally used to determine whether the kidneys are capable of appropriately acidifying urine.
