A 37-year-old man with protein-losing
gastroenteropathy underwent surgery for mitral and tricuspid
regurgitation. Serum protein level and serum albumin level were
normalized after surgery. Gastrointestinal scintigraphy images
using 99mTc-labeled albumin also showed no collection of tracer
in gastrointestinal tract.
