  • Look Inside

A patient with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) associated with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), who developed superior vena cava thrombo-sis is described. A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of generalized edema. She showed strong facial edema on the right side. Serum albumin level and antithrombin III (AT III) activities were markedly decreased. Venous angiography showed a thrombus of the superior vena cava. Neither liver dysfunction nor nephrotic syndrome was present. After an elevation of 24-hour fecal α1 anti-trypsin clearance, and abdominal scintigraphy. following intravenous injection of 99mTc-human serum albumin D (HSAD), radioactivity in the intestine was observed, we confirmed that PLE was the main etiology of her hypo-proteinemia. Only anti-Ul ribonucleoprotein (RNP) antibody was positive, although the titer was low. The case was suspected MCTD and corticosteroid pulse therapy followed by the oral administration of 20mg prednisolone (PSL) a day was performed. Within one week, there was a rise in the serum albumin level and AT III activity. Finally 5 mg oral administration of PSL alone was enough to maintain normal serum albu-min level and AT III activity. Abdominal scintigraphy of 99mTc-I-ISAD clearly demonstrated a decrease in radioactivity.

Severe hypoproteinemia due to leakage of plasma proteins into the intestinal lumen may be related to a decrease in the blood levels of anticoagulation factors and the formation of thrombi in the vessels. Decreased AT III activity is well known for its tendency to be accompanied by thrombi formation in hereditary cases of AT III deficiency. AT III is the most important anticoagulation factor, and we should consider throm-bosis in its relation to other acquired protein-losing diseases.
