Abstract

Protein-losing enteropathy is an uncommon syndrome of excessive loss of protein via the gastrointestinal mucosa. 99mTc-dextran scintigraphy was performed on a 42-year-old woman with Protein-losing enteropathy. She had secondary amyloidosis due to rheumatoid arthritis. Abnormal leakage of the radiotracer was observed in the mid-abdominal region suggesting the site of protein loss. It is concluded that 99mTc-dextran scintigraphy is useful as a noninvasive and simple test for the imaging and confirmation of diagnosis in protein-losing enteropathy.

Özet

Protein kaybettiren enteropati gastrointestinal mukoza yoluyla aşırı derecede protein kaybı ile giden sendromdur. 42 yaşında romatoid artirite sekonder amiloidozu bağlı Protein kaybettiren enteropati geliflen bayan hastaya 99mTc-dextran sintigrafisi uygulandı. Protein kaybını düşündüren orta abdominal bölgede anormal radyoaktivite tutuluşu izlendi. 99mTc-dextran sintigrafisinin protein kaybettiren enteropatinin görüntülenmesinde ve tanının doğrulanmasında basit ve non-invaziv bir test olarak yararlı olduğu kanısına varıldı.
