Treatment of chyluria with Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) irrigation of the renal pelvis

Abstract

Objectives To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) irrigation of the renal pelvis for the treatment of chyluria.Methods 102 or 68 cases with filarial chyluria in 1989-2006 were treated with H2O2 or silver nitrate irrigation of the renal pelvis. The response,as judged from the disappearance of chyluria and the incidence of complications,was analyzed.Results The H2O2 irrigation of the renal pelvis groups, the disappearing rate of chyluria was 93.14%,81(81/95) cases were followed up for 2 to 12 years,75 cases (92.59﹪) were found to have been cured and 6 (7.41﹪) had recurrence; The silver nitrate irrigation of the renal pelvis groups, the disappearing rate of chyluria was 79.41%, 48(48/54) cases were followed up for 2 to 10 years,36 cases (75﹪) were found to have been cured and 12 (25﹪)had recurrence. The treating effect in the first group is higher than the last group between two groups.Conclusions Treatment of chyluria with H2O2 irrigation of the renal pelvis is a simple and convenient method with certain eff;cacy and no obvious complications occurred. It is an ideal non-surgical procedure for treatment of chyluria. Key words: CHYLORIA; Hydrogen Peroxide; Perfusion,Regional
