Hiluria

Hiluria: causes, symptoms and treatment

Hyluria is a rare disease in which fat and protein contained in the lymph enter the urine. Hiluria can have various causes and manifest itself with different symptoms, however, as a rule, this is not associated with a threat to the patient’s life.

Causes of chyluria may include infections related to the lymphatic system such as elephantiasis, tuberculosis and filariasis. Also, chyluria can be caused by impaired drainage of lymphatic vessels, for example, with tumor diseases or after surgical interventions.

Symptoms of chyluria may include fatty lumps in the urine, causing it to become cloudy and discolored. Patients may also experience swelling, tenderness, and enlargement of the genitourinary organs.

The diagnosis of chyluria is made based on the results of tests of urine, blood and lymph, as well as using ultrasound and x-ray examinations.

Treatment for chyluria depends on its cause and may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics, and surgery to restore lymphatic drainage.

Hiluria can be complicated by the development of urinary tract infections, so it is important to consult a doctor at the first signs of the disease. Seeking medical attention promptly will help prevent complications and limit problems associated with chyluria.

Chiluria - in veterinary medicine (subphaseology) syndromes associated with excessive excretion in the urine of one or more hiluretic components. Initially, synonyms were used: galactemic and lactatemic (fermented milk) non-food amino masses. The disease refers to fascial lesions of the kidneys (peri-capillary changes in the wall of the renal tubules, accompanied by pathological protein and electrolyte-mineral metabolism).

Many types of uropathy are based on excretory amylasuria, which can be true or false. True excretory amlamisuria is associated with the retrograde entry of hilural components into the urinary tubules, even with normal general nutrition. In idiopathic excretory amylasuria, there is a high level of the enzyme, usually a dysfunctional kidney, which usually decreases as the animal ages and makes diagnosis in the early stages of the disease difficult. Dysmetabolic forms are observed after exposure to toxic or other factors that contribute to the development of other organic uropathologies. It is possible that the disease may be associated with the breed predisposition of the animal (toy breeds of dogs), or as a hereditary abnormality of kidney development. The study of urine amyloid bodies is necessary for the differential diagnosis of cases of true excretory alamysuria
