True regarding presentation (s) of thoracic duct injury
Correct Answer: Lymphopenia
Description: Thorasic duct injury commonly leads to chylothorax. Given the high volume of chyle that flows through the thoracic duct, significant injuries can cause leaks in excess of 2 L per day; if left untreated, protein, lymphocyte, and volume depletion can lead to serious metabolic effects and death.
