Detailed explanation-1: -Health conditions that affect digestion or the absorption and use of proteins from food are often the cause of hypoproteinemia. Limiting food intake or following highly restrictive diets can also lead to a shortage of protein in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protein-losing enteropathy is a pathological condition in which there is an increased loss of proteins through the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to low serum proteins. Most patients present with peripheral edema. Many diseases can lead to PLE. Appropriate consultants should be seen depending on the primary cause.
