Green Discoloration of Urine After Propofol Infusion: A Case Report

Green discoloration of urine after propofol infusion is a reversible and rarely encountered clinical condition. In the intensive care patient, the clinician who is faced with a green color change in the urine is anxious primarily. Many clinicians are unfamiliar with this rare situation. Here, a patient who was followed up with HELLP Syndrome, had green color change in urine 40 hours after application of continuous propofol infusion in postoperative intensive care unit and returned to normal 6 hours after propofol discontinuation. Knowing such a reversible and rare clinical condition due to the commonly used propofol will reduce unnecessary anxiety and prevent unnecessary antibiotic use and laboratory tests.
