Abstract

Protein losing enteropathy (PLE) is characterized by the leakage of serum proteins from the gastrointestinal tract leading to a generalized edema and hypoalbuminemia without proteinuria. Lupus protein-losing enteropathy (LUPLE) is a rare manifestation in SLE and its diagnosis requests exclusion of renal manifestations.
