A lymphographic study of chyluria.

H Ngan, C H Leong

    The British Journal of Radiology
    |December 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bilateral pedal lymphography in 90 chyluria patients revealed widespread lymphatic abnormalities, with 93% showing renal lymphatic reflux. Findings suggest a strong link between cisterna chyli origin and unilateral reflux patterns in chyluria.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Chyluria, characterized by chyle in urine, is a rare condition often linked to lymphatic system abnormalities.
    • Understanding the lymphatic pathways involved is crucial for diagnosing and managing chyluria.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the lymphatic system's morphology and function in patients with chyluria using pedal lymphography.
    • To identify specific lymphatic abnormalities associated with chyluria and explore potential correlations with clinical presentation.

    Main Methods:

    • Bilateral pedal lymphography was performed on ninety patients diagnosed with chyluria.
    • Lymphography was also conducted on 22 patients post-lymphatic stripping surgery to assess surgical completeness.

    Main Results:

    • 61% of patients exhibited dilated, tortuous, and increased retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels.
    • Abnormal lymph node appearance was noted in 67% of cases.
    • Renal lymphatic reflux (bilateral or unilateral) was present in 93% of patients, with a correlation between cisterna chyli origin and unilateral reflux.

    Conclusions:

    • Pedal lymphography is effective in visualizing lymphatic abnormalities in chyluria.
    • Renal lymphatic reflux is a predominant finding in chyluria patients.
    • The study highlights the intricate relationship between lymphatic anatomy and the pathogenesis of chyluria.
