“Milky” urine: a case of chyluria

Hematuria without chyluria: It could still be due to filarial etiology

“…A diagnosis of filarial chylohematuria without features of lymphatic filariasis can be difficult to make due to the absence of microfilaria in the urine in the majority of cases. [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] This is even more difficult when the patient presents with gross or microscopic hematuria without chyluria. [ 6 7 8 9 ] Apart from endemic areas such as India, filariasis does occur in different parts of the world.…”

“…[ 6 7 8 9 ] Apart from endemic areas such as India, filariasis does occur in different parts of the world. [ 2 3 4 ] We report a rare case of hematuria with the presence of Wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae in the urine and review the literature in the context of presentations with chyluria and hematuria.…”

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based urinalysis for a young girl with extreme hypoglycaemia

“…This approach assumes the patient has a negligible amount of urinary triglycerides, and it is usually the case in normal subjects unless the patient is affected by chyluria. 12 Through NMR analysis, the absence of lipoprotein particles had excluded obvious chyluria. For comparison, typical exudate and transudate pleural effusion NMR spectra were included in Fig.…”
