Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case of purple urine bag syndrome, a rare condition in which the urinary catheter bag of chronically catheterised patients develops a discolouration, is reported. The excretion of indoxyl sulphate, an intermediate in the causal mechanism of this unusual phenomenon, was measured using Ehrlich's reagent and found not to be elevated in this 77 year-old man, when compared to elderly male control subjects. |
