Chyluria denotes the urinary excretion of chyle, which is a lymphatic fluid rich in chylomicrons. Chyle flows from the intestinal lacteals to the left subclavian vein through the thoracic duct. When an abnormal connection between these structures and the urinary tract develops, chyluria appears. The syndrome is often associated with a nephrotic-range proteinuria, and this could be a wrong indic...

Chyluria is an abnormal condition in which chyle appears in the urine because of a fistulous communication between the lymphatics and the urinary tract. It is not life-threatening and spontaneous regression is reported in 50% of cases. Lymphangiography has been the main imaging modality for localization of the site of fistula, but it is invasive and requires expertise. Lymphoscintigraphy using ...

conclusions sclerotherapy for symptomatic relief of chyluria during pregnancy showed high response rate (86.2%) in short term follow-up. sclerotherapy with 10% povidone iodine and 25% dextrose combination have been proved safe and effective during pregnancy. medical termination of pregnancy and cesarean section (those near term) may be the options in resistant cases not responding to sclerother...

INTRODUCTION This report highlights a rare cause of chyluria occurring after radiofrequency ablation of a renal cell carcinoma. The condition requires a high index of suspicion, as it may not be diagnosed routinely on imaging follow-up after treatment. As chyluria can vary from no symptoms to hypoproteinemia, hypolipidemia and impaired immune function, prompt diagnosis will allow timely managem...

By Surgeon G. C. Roy, M.IX, F.R.C.S., Civil Surgeon, Beerbhoom. Chyluria is essentially a tropical disease. An analysis of the cases recorded in the Lancet will show that the subjects of it were, at one time 01* other of their lives, residents in a tropical climate, whence they probably carried with thein the germ of the disease. Even in the tropics its occurrence however is not frequent, inasm...
