A child case of idiopathic chyluria resulted in spontaneous remission

Abstract

 We report a girl of idiopathic chyluria who was found in school urinary screening programme at the age of 10 years. It took one year from the finding of hematuria and proteinuria in school urinary screening programme to confirm the prescence of chyluria. One of the reasons of the delay of confirmation of chyluria, is that hematuria, proteinuria and pyuria were exacerbated in the morning urine, but improved in the day urine. The confirmation of chyluria was done by ether adding test, Sternheimer stein and Prescott-Brodie stein. Lymphoscintigraph with Tc-99m-HAS-DTPA showed very well the site of the fistula, right renal pelvis and dilated lymphatics on the right side. She had not any symptoms, any treatments and the chyluria disappeared spontaneously after 4 yeares of the finding of chyluria.
