ABSTRACT
Introduction: The elimination of urine containing large amounts of chyllous material and acquiring a milky appearance is known as quiluria. Except in regions where it is endemic, lymphatic filariasis, the main etiology, is generally considered to be a rare disorder.Objective: To describe a case of chyluria associated with pregnancy.
Clinical case: 32-year-old female patient with multiple admissions to the nephrology service at Hospital Celia Sánchez Manduley since 2007 for presenting whitish urine, a clinical picture that began with the first pregnancy. The symptom disappeared, then reappeared with the second pregnancy, first intermittently and then became permanent with hematuria, proteinuria, edema and other clinical and biochemical alterations.
Conclusions: Nephrectomy is indicated in chyluria when it puts the patient's life at risk and affects the quality of life, if there are no other therapeutic alternatives.
