Communication between the thoracic duct and the pleural space can be demonstrated after oral administration of radiolabeled triglycerides or fatty acids of suitable chain length. A case of chylothorax was confirmed in this manner using 131I-triolein. The technique may be most useful in cases where the chylous nature of a pleural effusion is not apparent on inspection of the pleural fluid.
口服适当链长的放射性标记甘油三酯或脂肪酸后，可显示胸导管与胸膜腔之间的交通。用131I-三油酸甘油酯以这种方式确诊了一例乳糜胸。该技术在胸腔积液外观上乳糜性质不明显的病例中可能最有用。
