    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Tropical Medicine

    Background:

    • Chyluria, characterized by chyle in urine, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Understanding etiological factors and refining treatment approaches are crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze etiological factors, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes in 161 chyluria cases.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of conservative versus operative interventions for chyluria.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis confirmed by the presence of chyle in urine.
    • Lymphography used in 90 patients to identify lymphatic reflux sites.
    • Cystoscopy post-fatty meal determined the side of significant leakage.

    Main Results:

    • 119 out of 161 cases (74%) responded to conservative management.
    • 42 cases required surgical intervention.
    • Retroperitoneal renal pedicle stripping demonstrated superior results among surgical options.

    Conclusions:

    • Conservative treatment is effective for a majority of chyluria patients.
    • Surgical management, particularly renal pedicle stripping, is indicated for refractory cases.
    • Accurate diagnosis through lymphography and cystoscopy aids in targeted treatment.
