title: [Localization diagnosis of chyluria by radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy, a new method of localization diagnosis of chyluria.
  
  
  METHODS
  Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy was used to examine 34 patients with chyluria and the results of radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy was compared with those of cystoscopy and lymphangiography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the 34 patients 85.3% of unilateral localization diagnosis by radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy was coincident with that by cystoscopy. The positive rate of bilateral localization diagnosis was higher than that by cystoscopy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A less invasive technique, radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy can be used as a new option for the localization diagnosis of chyluria.
