A 7-yr-old girl developed persistent ascites following renal transplantation.
Renal scintigraphy periodically performed to monitor renal function of the transplanted kidney showed increased 99mTc-DTPA in the abdominal cavity on delayed imaging.
Paracentesis demonstrated a cloudy yellow, odorless fluid which was identified as chylous ascites, an extremely rare complication of abdominal vascular surgery.
Technetium-99m-DTPA in the peritoneal cavity following renal transplantation should be recognized as a sign suggestive of chylous ascites.
