protein losing enteropathy - protein loss in bowel
Definition for protein losing enteropathy
Protein losing enteropathy refers to any condition of the gastrointestinal tract that results in a net loss of protein from the body.
more
Protein losing enteropathy refers to any condition of the gastrointestinal tract that results in a net loss of protein from the body. The condition may manifest itself with complications related to protein loss, including edema, or retention of fluid, and ascites, or retention of fluid in the abdomen. Proteins are absorbed in the small bowel, and any condition that affects the digestion or absorption of protein can result in protein losing enteropathy. Common causes of protein losing enteropathy include celiac disease, Crohn's disease, short bowel syndrome (where the absorptive area for proteins is decreased), intestinal lymphangiectasia, amyloidosis, enteropathy caused by NSAIDs, and giardiasis.
