Abstract EN
We present a 19-year-old man who excreted green urine after propofol infusion.
The patient was admitted to our hospital for injuries sustained in a traffic accident and underwent surgery.
After starting continuous infusion of propofol for postoperative sedation, his urine became dark green.
Serum total bilirubin and urine bilirubin were both elevated.
We believe that the green discoloration of the urine was caused by propofol infusion and was related to impaired enterohepatic circulation and extrahepatic glucuronidation in the kidneys.
