Case Started on : 20 Jun 2020
Here is the story of a policeman suffering from Chyluria for eight months. Initially, there was foam in the urine, and occasional white uring was there. Whenever he was taking fat, then chyle appeared in the urine. He reported there were weakness and loss of weight, and that was the cause of worry.
Chyluria or chylous urine is a condition with the presence of chyle in the urine, which results in milky urine. It's due to communication between the lymphatic and urinary system. Chyle is a body fluid within the lymphatic vessels, which conveys the digested fat from the small intestine to the blood. Chyle consists of the lymph and lipid particles called chylomicrons, which are composed of fats and proteins.
Chyluria can be a debilitating condition that can have an intermittent (waxing and waning) and recurrent course. The main symptom is thick, milky, and possibly foamy urine. Cause of foam in the urine is the protein leak which makes an emulsified solution
There can be other symptoms and signs. These include frequent and burning urination (dysuria), passing fat or blood clots, pinky or red urine due to the blood (hematuria), kidney pain, weakness, weight loss, fever and swelling of the legs or scrotum (hydrocele). Chyluria, by itself, is not life-threatening.

He suggested that treatment will be long-lasting, and there may be a frequent recurrence of the condition. Then he withdraws Hetrazan, and again urine becomes milky. Now the patient got worried that despite a strict diet, he is getting trouble. He was carrying a urine sample.
