Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) can be diagnosed scintigraphically using 99mTc-human serum albumin (HSA) scans.
METHODS
To evaluate the usefulness of this method in detecting enteric protein loss, we retrospectively reviewed the 99mTc-HSA scans of 18 children presenting consecutively with
OBJECTIVE
Our study aimed to compare the performance of faecal α(1)-antitrypsin clearance (AATC) and radiolabelled human serum albumin (HSA) scintigraphy in protein-losing enteropathy (PLE).
METHODS
Patients studied by both AATC and technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)-labelled HSA scintigraphy were recruited
A modification of the 51Cr-chromium-albumin test allows differentiation between protein-losing gastropathy and protein-losing enteropathy. After i.v. application of 51Cr-chromium-albumin, radioactivity is measured in the gastric fluid (basal after pentagastrin and after atropine, each for 1 h) and
Using the 14C carbonate method of McFarlane, the synthesis rates of albumin and fibrinogen were determined in four patients with protein-losing enteropathy, in one patient during the recovery phase after severe protein malabsorption and in nine control patients. The following results were obtained:
99mTc-labeled human serum albumin (HSA) abdominal imaging is a new way of demonstrating gastrointestinal protein loss. We present two children with hypoalbuminemia of obscure etiology in whom albumin loss was localized in the gastrointestinal tract with 99mTc-HSA scintigraphy and the loss correlated
Protein losing enteropathy (PLE) is a gastrointestinal disorder that is associated with excessive loss of plasma protein into the gut resulting from abnormal mucosal permeability. The disease is usually caused by inflammation. The loss of protein in PLE is a nonselective process affecting albumin,
The serum-ascites albumin difference is reported to be superior to ascitic total protein, ascitic-to-serum total protein ratio, lactic dehydrogenase, and ascitic-to-serum lactic dehydrogenase ratio in differentiating between ascites from liver disease and malignant ascites, S-A greater than 1.1
The serum-ascites albumin difference, an index of the serum-ascites oncotic pressure difference, correlates directly with the pressure gradient between the portal capillaries and the peritoneal cavity. This test was compared with the ascites total protein concentration in the separation of
While several studies have documented protein losing enteropathy by measuring the excretion of intravenously administered 131I- or 51Cr-labeled albumin, the efficacy of 99mTc-labeled albumin in detecting protein loss in the bowel has not been described. We report here a case of severe protein-losing
A 34-year-old female presenting with bilateral lower leg edema and distended abdomen was admitted to our hospital. The serum albumin was 1.42g/dl. Renal function and hepatic function were normal. Urinalysis did not show proteinuria. Tc-99m albumin scintigraphy was arranged for this patient to rule
Abdominal scintigraphy with intravenous injection of 99mTc-labeled serum albumin was performed in 6 patients with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and 3 patients with non-gastrointestinal tract disorders. In 3 out of 6 patients with PLE, abnormal radioactivity was observed in the ileum region 3
BACKGROUND
Diagnosis of protein loss into the gastrointestinal tract using noninvasive techniques is challenging. In people, scintigraphy not only is a sensitive tool to confirm protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), but it also allows for localization of protein loss.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is a rare form of nonhereditary gastrointestinal polyposis associated with ectodermal change and protein-losing enteropathy. Here we report a 63-year-old male presenting with diffuse gastrointestinal polyposis, onychodystrophy, cutaneous pigmentation, alopecia, diarrhea,
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
OBJECTIVE
To develop an in-house preparation method for technetium 99m-labeled human serum albumin (99mTc-HSA) to meet the clinical need for gastrointestinal (GI) protein loss evaluation in our institution.
METHODS
Our in-house HSA was prepared by slowly adding 2 mL of 25% HSA to 50 mL
