Overview

Protein losing enteropathy is the loss of plasma proteins from the gastrointestinal tract caused by an array of abnormalities

Historical Perspective

[Disease name] was first discovered by [name of scientist], a [nationality + occupation], in [year]/during/following [event].

The association between [important risk factor/cause] and [disease name] was made in/during [year/event].

In [year], [scientist] was the first to discover the association between [risk factor] and the development of [disease name].

In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].

Common Causes

Most cases of protein losing enteropathy are caused as a result of:

  1. Primary gastrointestinal disorders
  2. Lymphatic obstruction

Primary Gastrointestinal Diseases

Mucosal Erosions/Ulcerations

Primary gastrointestinal diseases causing erosion or ulceration of the mucosa of the gut leading to fecal loss of proteins such as:

Non-Erosive/Ulcerative Mucosal involvement

Lymphatic Obstruction

Conditions responsible for causing lymphatic obstruction leading to the leakage of lymph into the lumen of gut such as:

Complete Differential Diagnosis Of Underlying Causes

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of protein losing enteropathy is typically made by excluding other causes of protein loss, such as nephrotic syndrome. Endoscopy and barium imaging can be used to localize the cause of the protein loss in the bowel.

Treatment

Treatment depends upon the underlying condition.
