BADIA ARANDA, E.; MARTIN DE LA TORRE, E.  and  MIJAN DE LA TORRE, A.. Protein-losing gastroenteropathy: unremembered cause of hypoalbuminemia?. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.6, pp.1487-1489. ISSN 1699-5198.

Protein-losing gastroenteropathy (PLE) consists on an active digestive tract protein loss syndrome and it is related to some diseases. After a wide research into bibliography (MEDLINE - Pubmed),we have found few references to this gastroenteropathy as a cause of hypoalbuminemia related to malnutrition. This has motivated us to review this entity, detailing some recent clinical cases of our experience.

Keywords : Protein-losing gastroenteropathy; Alpha 1- antitrypsin; Hypoalbuminemia; Malnutrition.
