REPEATED SCLEROTHERAPY SUCCESSFULLY TREATS A CHILD WITH IDIOPATHIC CHYLURIA: A CASE REPORT.

We describe a clinical course of idiopathic chyluria in a previously healthy 8-year-old Thai boy, with a 1-year history of cloudy white urine undergoing antibiotic treatment. The patient was investigated for the causes but they all proved negative. Cystoscopy and retrograde pyelography demonstrated a renolymphatic fistula of the right kidney. The patient was refractory to a mediumchain triglyceride-rich diet. Ultimately, sclerotherapy with 1% povidone iodine was employed twice, which resulted in a resolution of the disorder. We emphasize that chyluria, even though a very rare condition of chylous disorders, but ultimately can be initially managed by providing a medium-chain triglyceride-rich diet and is curable by sclerotharapy. Importantly, medium-chain triglyceride-rich diet can be applied to treat other types of chylous disorders.
