Grass-green urine from propofol infusion

A B Pedersen et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Green urine from propofol infusion is a benign and rare side effect. The discolouration appears when clearance of propofol exceeds hepatic elimination, and extrahepatic elimination of propofol occurs. This case report presents a 24-year-old male with grass green discolouration of urine based on propofol infusion.
