Renal lymphangiectasia, a rare lymphatic disorder, can cause ascites and reversible hypertension. Conservative treatment with diuretics and antihypertensives showed positive patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Renal lymphangiectasia is a rare, benign disorder affecting renal lymphatics with unclear pathophysiology.
  • Clinical presentations vary, with management options including percutaneous drainage or pharmacological interventions.

Observation:

  • A case presented with bilateral perinephric fluid collections, gross ascites, abdominal pain, and reversible hypertension.
  • Imaging (ultrasound and CT) confirmed bilateral symmetrical large perinephric collections.
  • Analysis of aspirated fluid revealed high protein and lymphocyte content.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with renal lymphangiectasia based on clinical presentation and imaging findings.
  • Conservative management with diuretics and antihypertensives was initiated.

  • Subsequent follow-up demonstrated significant clinical improvement.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering renal lymphangiectasia in patients with unexplained ascites and hypertension.
    • Conservative management can be effective for symptomatic renal lymphangiectasia.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology of renal lymphangiectasia is warranted.
