Abstract

Discoloration of urine is an important sign of urinary system disorders and is associated with urinary infections, tumors, stones and benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, some benign conditions such as ingested substances, dyes, hemoglobin, bilirubin and products of uric acid metabolism may lead to discoloration of urine. This complex situation can lead to unnecessary investigations. In this study, we aim to report a case of green discoloration of urine after ingestion of methylene blue. Green urine associated with methylene blue is a benign condition and it is important to avoid performing unnecessary laboratory tests.

Özet

İdrarda meydana gelen renk değişikliği üriner sistem hastalıkları için önemli bir işarettir ve üriner infeksiyonlar, tümörler, taşlar ve benign prostat hiperplazisi ile ilişkilidir. Buna rağmen tüketilen besinler, boyalar, hemaglobin, bilirubin ve ürik asit metabolizma ürünleri gibi bazı tehlikesiz durumlarda idrar rengi değişikliğine yol açabilmektedir. Bu karmaşık durum gereksiz araştırmalara yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada metilen mavisi alınmasından sonra meydana gelen yeşil idrarı sunmayı amaçladık. Metilen mavisi ile ilişkili olarak oluşan yeşil idrar tehlikesiz bir durumdur ve bunun akılda tutulması gereksiz laboratuar testlerinden kaçınılmasını sağlayacaktır.
