 QN 15
a) Chyluria & haematuria
b) Wuchereria bancrofti
c) Combination of ivermectin & albendazole
NB: Chyluria is caused by discharge of intestinal lymph (chyle) into
the renal pelvis and subsequently into urine. Chyluria indicates the
presence of an abnormal communication between intestinal
lymphatics and the urinary tract, resulting in formation of
lymphaticourinary fistulae.
Once such a fistula is formed, milky white urine is passed, which may
be continuous or intermittent. In chyluric patients, haematuria is
caused by the rupture of minute blood vessels into the urinary tract
during the formation of lymphaticourinary fistulae.
