| Abstrakt: |
A case is described of a 59-year-old black man with massive chyluria, probably due to previous infection with Wuchereria bancrofti. Notably, no edema was present despite a urinary protein loss of 40gm. per day resulting in a serum albumin level of 13gm./l. Conservative treatment after lymphography, including prolonged bedrest and a medium chain triglyceride diet, was unsuccessful. Bilateral excision of the perinephric fascia and fat (Gerota’s fasciectomy) in 2 separate operative sessions finally resulted in complete resolution of the chyluria. |
