RESUMO
La gastroenteropatía pierde proteínas (PLE) es un síndrome que consiste en una pérdida activa proteica por el aparato digestivo y relacionada con enfermedades. Tras revisión amplia de la literatura (MEDLINE - PubMed),hemos encontrado escasas referencias de esta gastroenteropatía como causante de hipoalbuminemia asociada a desnutrición. Ello nos ha motivado para revisar la entidad y su diagnóstico, detallando algunos casos clínicos recientes de nuestra experiencia (AU)
