Chyluria is the passage of milky urine due to a lymphourinary fistula. It is secondary to lymphatic stasis caused by obstruction of the lymphatic flow. It is caused by the parasite Wuchereria bancrofti in more than 95% of cases in tropical countries. Chyluria occurs in 2% of filarial-infested patients. When an abnormal connection between intestinal lacteals and the urinary tract develops, chyluria appears. The diagnostic approach is aimed to define the site of lymphourinary fistula. It is a benign disease that can be controlled by medical treatment and dietary restrictions. A small number of patients require surgical intervention. The 45-year-old thin built woman was suffering from chyluria, flank pain in the abdomen, weakness and loss of weight for the last 10 years. The serum test for circulating adult filarial antigen was positive in moderately high titer. Antifilarial treatment was advised. The symptoms improved for three months and again relapsed.

Chyluria occurs in all its forms with milky urine, recurrent episodes of acute urinary retention, left renal colic and proteinuria. In non-parasitic or iatrogenic diseases, it is secondary to communicate between the cisterna system of the chyli and the lymphatics of the calyx system of the left urinary tract with a retrograde passage of a kilo and its appearance in the urine which therefore take on a milky appearance [1, 2]. Sometimes, episodically, especially after the ingestion of a high-fat meal, the quantity of kilo is so abundant that it can cause obstruction of the upper urinary tract and of the bladder, resulting in renal colic or acute urinary retention that may require their unblocking with double J stent or bladder catheter [3, 4]. After conservative attempts with a fat-free diet or with the parenteral diet, in case of their failure, surgery must be performed by performing a para-aortic and renal hilum lymphadenectomy and, in severe cases, with intraperitonealization of the kidney and left ureter. This is the case of the patient reported below and successfully treated recently with an innovative “open” surgical technique.

Low Prevalence

Chyluria has become a rare clinical presentation in Sri Lanka, which may have a direct correlation with the low prevalence of lymphatic filariasis following the use of diethylcarbamazine and albendazole mass drug administration (MDA) for five rounds between 2002 and 2006. Here we report a 50-year-old male who presented with milky urine and progressive weight loss, diagnosed as having nonparasitic chyluria. The patient was initially managed with a trail of diethylcarbamazine (DEC) 6 mg/kg/day for 21 days and a low-fat diet with an unsatisfactory response. Subsequent management with endoscopic instillation of 0.5% silver nitrate brought in him a quick response, which was maintained for a year. Endoscopic sclerotherapy is considered a safer, effective and a minimally invasive treatment option for symptomatic patients.
