Gastric and fecal clearance of alpha 1-antitrypsin were measured in three cases of protein-losing gastroenteropathy and in two control cases. Abdominal scintigraphy using 99mTc-labeled human serum albumin was performed in all five subjects. All three cases of protein-losing gastroenteropathy showed 99mTc activity in the gastrointestinal tract. In the patient with hypertrophic gastropathy, the activity was seen initially in the stomach and duodenum. In the patients with intestinal lymphangiectasia, the activities were initially in the small bowel. We conclude that 99mTc scintigraphy was useful, not only in diagnosing protein-losing enteropathy, but, also, in detecting the responsible region of the gastrointestinal tract.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
