“…Authors of another study (16) detected PLE in 12 of 18 children but gave no data about the six negative scan results, nor did they state whether 24-hour imaging was being performed. We think the distinct results can be attributed to two possible causes: (a) different amounts of protein loss from the gastrointestinal tract, and (b) the performance of 24-hour imaging to document the sites of protein loss in our study.…”

“…The diagnosis is confirmed by increased faecal concentration of a-1-antitrypsin, dilated lymphatic veins in upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopic examination, and loss of bowel wall segments at Tc-99m scintigraphy. 1,2 Treatment of protein-losing enteropathy includes the nutrition state maintenance by using a highprotein diet with supplement of fat-soluble vitamins and low fat with medium chain triglycerides, spironolactone, diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, octreotide, and unfractionated heparin, which have membrane-stabilising and antiinflammatory effects. With the progress in the pulmonary vasoactive drugs such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors -sildenafil -and endothelin antagonistsbosentan -regulation of pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic venous pressure has been settled in the treatment of protein-losing enteropathy.…”

“…[16][17][18] Recently, one CCS patient had protein-losing enteropathy that was successfully corrected by surgical management after localization of the level of protein-losing area over the ascending colon. 8 In our report, we also had a CCS patient with protein-losing enteropathy that was successfully localized over the transverse and descending colons by 99m Tc HSA scan.…”
