| Popis: |
The PUS (pink urine syndrome) is a disorder of low frequency, described by sudden presence of pink urine distinguishable from hematuria, because of its lighter tone and to leave sediment of this shading while centrifuging. There is no definite occurrence and just reports of secluded cases. Urine analysis revealed low pH in the various cases and pink sediment was shown to contain many uric acid crystals. The mechanism of this fascinating phenomenon is not clearly understood, but some factors have been associated with the increased excretion of uric acid in urine such as obesity, use of propofol, antidiuretic hormone, dehydration, surgical stress, abdominal surgeries, among others. We describe a case of propofol-induced pink urine syndrome and discuss the factors leading to this syndrome. |
