Conditions Treated A-Z. What Is Chylothorax? Symptoms of chylothorax An early symptom of chylothorax is shortness of breath, which occurs as chyle collects in your chest cavity and compresses your lungs.
Causes of non-traumatic chylothorax Non-traumatic chylothorax occurs without obvious trauma. It may happen spontaneously, but is often associated with the following: Lymphatic disorders or malformations Some syndromes, including Noonan syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that prevents normal physical development Lymphoma Penn Medicine researchers recently discovered that chylothorax is commonly caused by leakage of lymph from the thoracic duct into the pleural space the space around the lungs.
Diagnosis of Chylothorax To diagnose chylothorax, we will take a sample of your chest fluid and test it for a high concentration of triglycerides and lymphocytes. MR lymphangiography study video showing abnormal lymphatic flow to the right lung Thoracic duct injection through the microcatheter demonstrates abnormal pulmonary lymphatic flow Penn Medicine interventional radiologists developed a diagnostic algorithm that determines our treatment approach: Chylothorax Treatment at Penn Penn Medicine pioneered the percutaneous through the skin treatment of non-traumatic chylothorax.

Abstract The lymphatic system is known to perform three major functions in the body: drainage of excess interstitial fluid and proteins back to the systemic circulation; regulation of immune responses by both cellular and humoral mechanisms; and absorption of lipids from the intestine.

It also can cause: the need to pee a lot pain when peeing blood in the pee hematuria pain in the lower back on one side weight loss growth and weight problems tiredness What Causes Chyluria? This may happen in children with: cancer or other tumor in the belly swelling or an unusual growth in the lymphatic system lymphangitis, lymphangioma a problem that was treated with surgery, such as: partial or complete removal of a kidney kidney transplant surgery for kidney cancer or another cancer in the belly Children who live in or have traveled to Africa, Asia, or South America can get chyluria from a parasite.
How Is Chyluria Diagnosed? They also order tests check to find out how the chyle is getting into the urinary system, such as: an ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, lymphangiogram, or other imaging study minimally invasive surgery laparoscopy to look inside the belly How Is Chyluria Treated?
Treatment for chyluria depends on what's causing it.
