Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIMS: METHODOLOGY: We evaluated the levels of these proteins in 12 patients with protein-losing gastroenteropathy. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: If there is a patient with severe hypoproteinemia and preserved levels of rapid turnover proteins, protein-losing gastroenteropathy should be suspected and we get a strong proof to do the following examinations such as a fecal clearance of alpha-1 antitrypsin.
