ABSTRACT
Although gastrointestinal manifestations are very common in patients with Henoch-Sch nlein purpura, protein losing enteropathy is a rare complication. We here report a case of protein losing enteropathy in a patient with Henoch-Sch nlein purpura. A 52-year old woman presented with lower abdominal pain, purpura and edema on lower extremity. Serum albumin was 1.9g/dL and 24 hour urine protein was 4.7g/ day. Skin and kidney biopsy revealed leukocytoclastic vasculitis and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis consistent with Henoch-Sch nlein purpura, respectively. Colonoscopy showed diffuse mucosal erosion at right colon. 99mTc-human serum albumin scintigraphy and fecal alpha-1-antitrypsin clearance confirmed protein losing enteropathy. The protein losing enteropathy improved with steroid treatment.
