A Case of Idiopathic Protein-losing Enteropathy
Abstract
- Protein-losing enteropathy is a mamfestation of various disorders associated with an excess loss of serum proteins into the gastrointestinal tract, thereby leading to hypoproteinemia and other sequelae. We present here a case of protein-losing enteropathy with unknown etiology. In spite of explorative laparotomy for multiple stricture of the small bowel, we were unable to uncover the etiology of protein-losmg entetopathy. After the resection of most severe stricture site, serum protein level was normalized.
