Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While the presence of WBC casts can indicate a urinary tract infection, it is not always accompanied by significant bacteriuria. Other conditions, such as interstitial nephritis and glomerulonephritis, can also cause the presence of WBC casts. Therefore, a urine culture should be done to confirm the presence of bacteria in the urine.
