Chyluria is defined as the presence of lymph in the urine and is rare except in the areas of the world where filariasis is endemic. An abnormal communication or fistula is formed between the renal lymphatic system and urinary collecting system due to high intralymphatic pressure caused by an obstruction. This obstruction may be congenital or acquired.
