Doctors have reported the first known case of a woman who urinates alcohol.
The never-before-seen condition effectively turned her bladder into a microbrewery.
A woman who urinates alcohol without having consumed any is the first person to be diagnosed with “urinary auto-brewery syndrome”.
The condition is caused by yeast in the bladder, which ferments sugar in urine to produce alcohol.
The unusual case has been published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Discovery of the bladder microbrewery
The condition was discovered by doctors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian Hospital.
They were examining a 61-year-old woman, suffering from liver cirrhosis and diabetes, for placement on the liver transplant waitlist.

Those two illnesses are often associated with alcoholism and heavy alcohol use, but the woman claimed to rarely drink alcohol.
But doctors were left baffled because her urine tests for alcohol were all positive.
Then, the doctors noted that two substances produced by the breakdown of alcohol and her blood tested negative for alcohol, so she didn’t report feeling drunk or intoxicated.
This is when they discovered that the woman’s bladder had become colonized with a yeast, closely related to brewer’s yeast.
First case of bladder fermentation syndrome ever
The yeast produced alcohol and the woman’s bladder had acted like a micro brewery.
The woman’s urine contained high amounts of sugar due to her diabetes.
In combination with the yeast that had colonized her bladder, the conditions were ideal for fermentation and the production of alcohol.
The doctor explains: “I think the biggest reason for the patient to develop this condition is her poorly controlled diabetes because the bladder environment with high levels of glucose is definitely an optimistic condition for the growth and activity of the yeast. And diabetes itself is also known to cause immune dysfunction, which should also contribute to this resilient yeast colonization in the bladder in this case. ”
The woman is the first case of “urinary auto-brewery syndrome” or “bladder fermentation syndrome,” although the condition has already been documented in the digestive system several times. Again, learn how to detox your liver here. [Annals, BMJ, IFLScience]
New Delhi: As the coronavirus scare runs across the world with one confirmed case in India, Hindu Mahasabha has proposed bizarre treatment for the dreaded virus infection.
Swami Chakrapani Maharaj, president of Hindu Mahasabha, on Friday said cow urine and cow dung can be used for treating novel coronavirus disease. He also said that a special yagna will be performed to “kill the novel coronavirus and end its effects on the world”.
“Consuming cow urine and cow dung will stop the effect of infectious coronavirus. A person who chants Om Namah Shivay and applies cow dung on body, will be saved. A special yagna ritual will soon be performed to kill coronavirus,” said Chakrapani.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the new coronavirus outbreak a global health emergency after the death toll in China rose to 213 on Friday, with 9,692 confirmed cases in the country’s 31 provincial-level regions.
An Air India flight service will evacuate Indians stuck in the city Wuhan due to the outbreak of the virus.
The new virus, which is of the same genre as SARS which broke out in 2003, was first reported in the WHO Disease Outbreak news on January 5, 2020.
It has progressively spread across many countries from its epicentre in Wuhan.
