NCIt definition : Tubules in the kidneys secrete proteins. Under some circumstances, these proteins precipitate out to form little cylindrical impressions of the tubules called casts. If anything is present in the tubules at the time, it gets trapped in the protein casts. This offers a snap shot of the tubular lumen at the time of cast formation. (from Medline Plus);

Alternative definition : NICHD: Cylindrical impressions of kidney tubules and collecting ducts that comprise primarily of mucoprotein precipitates that can be overlaid with acellular (hyaline, granular, waxy, pigment, fat, crystals) or cellular (red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, or epithelial cells) components.; CDISC: A mold of a hollow structure (e.g. renal tubule, bronchiole). The casts may be composed of various materials (e.g. protein, granular substance, cellular debris). (INHAND);
