Alpha1-antitrypsin was assessed, in 10 patients with protein-losing enteropathy and 13 control subjects, as an endogenous marker of plasma-protein loss into the gastrointestinal tract. Both fæcal α1-A.T. concentrations and fæcal α1-A.T. clearance were significantly higher in patients than in controls. With clearance there was no overlap between the groups. Over 10 days the normal gastrointestinal clearance of α1-A.T. was 3·07±2·25 (S.D.) ml/day. Measurement of α1-A.T. clearance is easy and requires no radioisotopes.
