THE VALUE OF LYMPHANGIOGRAPHY IN CHYLURIA: A REPORT OF THREE CASES.

Abstract

The lymphographic findings in three patients suffering
from idiopathic chyluria are described. These
findings included lymphangiectases and retrograde
filling of kidney lymphatics; bilaterally in two and
unilaterally in one patient. In the latter patient,
the contrast was also seen entering the renal calyces
and pelvis before passing to the bladder. The thoracic
duct was patent in all three cases. The value of
lymphangiography in patients with chyluria is
emphasized.
