In this report, we present a case of chyluria that is a very rare urine abnormality in Korea. A 43-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with intermittent turbid and creamy-colored urine for 10 days. The urine tests, including a urine lipid profile, indicated a diagnosis of chyluria. There was no evidence of secondary causes of chyluria such as a tumor and filariasis, and a urinary-lymphatic fistula was not found. The patient was instructed to begin a high protein diet with low fat content and medium chain triglyceride oil supplementation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing a patient that presented with chyluria in Korea.

Anticholinergic drugs block muscarinic receptors at the detrusor muscle of the bladder. It can cause urinary retention by contracting the bladder neck. Cases of hydronephrosis, bladder dilatation as a result of polydipsia while taking anticholinergic drugs have been reported, but very few cases of chronic renal failure can be found. We report a case of a polydipsic schizophrenic patient who, after taking anticholinergic drugs as antipsychotic drugs to treat his schizophrenia for a long time, presented with chronic renal failure due to functional obstructive uropathy in the absence of demonstrable anatomic causes of obstruction.
