Abstract
Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is considered one of the rare and complex complications of intestinal diseases. The main symptom of this pathology is the formation of hypoproteinemic edema. Diagnosis of the disease is based on the verification of protein loss in the intestinal cavity through the determination of α1-antitrypsin in feces. The damaged segment of the intestine is determined by X-ray and endoscopic diagnostic methods. The mainstay of treatment is a low-fat diet rich in medium-chain triglycerides. In cases of severe hypoproteinemias that do not respond to medi cal treatment, the choice is surgical treatment - resection of the damaged segment.
