An Unusual Treatment for Protein Losing Enteropathy
We present the case of a 22‐year‐old man with a Fontan circulation who suffered from intractable protein losing enteropathy for an 8‐year period necessitating several hospital admissions for recurrent pleural effusions and edema. Despite trying several recognized medical therapies to alleviate his protein losing enteropathy, his condition did not improve until the introduction of loperamide for troublesome diarrhea. Following this, his symptoms and serum albumin improved dramatically and he has not required any further hospital admissions at 22 months follow up. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)
