Abstract EN

A 21-year-old lady presented with chyluria, severe malnutrition, secondary amenorrhea, profound hypoalbuminemia, heavy proteinuria and renal tubular abnormalities suggestive of Type IV renal tubular acidosis.

No particular cause for chyluria could be ascertained.

She was successfully treated with an injection of 2 % silver nitrate into the left ureter and urinary bladder.

She continues to be well after 15 years of follow-up.
