title: Experiences in the treatment of chyluria in Taiwan.
abstract: From 1967 through 1986, 55 patients with chyluria were treated by renal pelvic instillation of 10 ml. 0.5% silver nitrate solution and surgical disconnection of the renal pedicle lymphatics was done in 9 (16.3%) due to persistent chyluria after instillation therapy. Among these 46 renal pelvic instillation patients and 9 operated patients followed for 2 years chyluria recurred in 11 (22.7%) and 5 (55.5%), respectively. Renal pelvic instillation is a safe and effective method to treat chyluria.
