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.
一项针对11例乳糜尿患者免疫系统的研究显示，存在淋巴细胞减少、T细胞数量降低、血清IgA浓度低以及对皮内注射抗原的迟发型超敏反应受到抑制。乳糜尿与肠淋巴管扩张症和胸导管瘘的相似性表明，免疫缺陷可能是由于尿液中淋巴液流失所致。
