Abnormalities of the immune system in patients with chyluria

A Date et al. Br J Urol. 1981 Aug.

Abstract

A study of the immune system in 11 patients with chyluria showed lymphocytopenia, decrease in T cells, a low serum IgA concentration and suppression of delayed hypersensitivity responses to intradermally injected antigens. The similarity of chyluria to intestinal lymphangiectasia and thoracic duct fistula suggests that the immune deficiency may be due to loss of lymph in the urine.
