Protein-Losing Gastroenteropathy
📋Overview
Protein-Losing Gastroenteropathy is a clinical syndrome characterized by the excessive leakage of plasma proteins into the gastrointestinal tract. This process results in hypoproteinemia, a condition where blood protein levels fall below the normal range because the loss exceeds the body's regenerative capacity.
This condition is considered a descriptive clinical manifestation rather than a primary diagnosis. It may arise from various underlying gastrointestinal disorders, and clinical focus is typically directed toward identifying the specific cause of the protein loss.
