| '''Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE)''' refers to the loss of plasma proteins into the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, exceeding the absorptive capacity of the intestines. PLE can be caused by disruption to the intestinal wall due to [[Inflammation - Pathology|inflammation]] or infiltrative disease or by venous congestion of the GI tract and GI [[Haemorrhage|haemorrhage]]. | | '''Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE)''' refers to the loss of plasma proteins into the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, exceeding the absorptive capacity of the intestines.
