Case report reveals green urine due to propofol infusion in a patient with refractory epilepsy, suggesting minimal implications.
Changes in urine coloration do not necessarily have significant clinical implications, as is the case with green color secondary to propofol use. We report a 35-year-old male patient with refractory epileptic status who required propofol in continuous infusion, who after 48 hours, presents green urine, with unaltered laboratories; to whom once the medication was suspended, returned urine to its amber yellow color. The importance of recognizing these cases is to avoid exposures to additional patient studies, with lower costs to the health system.
