LaboratoryCholesterol and triglyceride and chylomicrons panel - Urine
Definition
This panel contains results for evaluation of cholesterol, triglycerides, and chylomicrons in urine to evaluate the fat content and aid in the diagnosis of chyluria (galacturia or milky urine), a condition in which chyle is present in the urine. Chyluria can have parasitic and non-parasitic causes. Parasitic chyluria is most prevalent in South East Asian countries where it is caused by parasitic infections spread by mosquitoes. Non-parasitic chyluria is most commonly due to impaired flow of lymph fluid due to a variety of reasons such as pregnancy, surgical procedures, tumors, lymphangiomas, and granulomatous infections.[PMID: 28478046][PMID: PMID: 26019826]
