  • Title: Acute necrotizing ureteritis with obstructive uropathy following instillation of silver nitrate in chyluria: a case report.
    Author: Su CM, Lee YC, Wu WJ, Ke HL, Chou YH, Huang CH.
    Journal: Kaohsiung J Med Sci; 2004 Oct; 20(10):512-5. PubMed ID: 15553812.
    Abstract:
    Chyluria occurs as a result of communication between the lymphatics and the renal pelvis. It is believed that instillation of silver nitrate into the renal pelvis is a safe, minimally invasive and effective treatment for chyluria. We report an unusual complication of acute necrotizing ureteritis following instillation of silver nitrate in a case of chyluria. It resolved completely with non-surgical intervention. The diagnosis and management of chyluria is discussed, with a brief review of the literature.
