Hi jyiti_1691 and thank you for your post. Granular casts are a sign of many types of kidney diseases. Red blood cell casts mean there is a microscopic amount of bleeding from the kidney. They are seen in many kidney diseases. Your relative would be best advised to discuss treatment with his/her renal consultant. Are any other forum members able to help jyoti_1691, please? Thank you and best wishes.

Thank you and yes we are consulting doctor and also getting treatment. Doctor said nothing to worry about but I got worried as this came in report for the first time.
