A 17-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital twice in a year for 2 episodes of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). During these 2 HUS episodes he had diarrhea, decreased serum complement, decreased total protein and decreased serum albumin concentrations. We suggest that protein-losing enteropathy and hypocomplementemia due to intestinal lymphangiectasia is may be a rare cause of atypical HUS.

D008201 Lymphangiectasis, Intestinal Dilatation of the intestinal lymphatic system usually caused by an obstruction in the intestinal wall. It may be congenital or acquired and is characterized by DIARRHEA; HYPOPROTEINEMIA; peripheral and/or abdominal EDEMA; and PROTEIN-LOSING ENTEROPATHIES.

D011504 Protein-Losing Enteropathies Pathological conditions in the INTESTINES that are characterized by the gastrointestinal loss of serum proteins, including SERUM ALBUMIN; IMMUNOGLOBULINS; and at times LYMPHOCYTES. Severe condition can result in HYPOGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA or LYMPHOPENIA. Protein-losing enteropathies are associated with a number of diseases including INTESTINAL LYMPHANGIECTASIS; WHIPPLE'S DISEASE; and NEOPLASMS of the SMALL INTESTINE.
