Abstract
In 30 cases of filarial chyluria, lymphography demonstrated hymphaticopelvic fistulization with extensive abnormalities of the lymphatic system, especially in the para-aortic and pelvic regions. These findings are considered remarkable. Based on these observed changes, suggestions are made on the pathogenesis of Ethiodol reflux into the collecting lymphatics of the kidney. Lymphography by Kin-month''s method may be one means of treating chyluria.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
