Protein-losing enteropathy
(
PLE
) is a debilitating potential complication of ulcerative colitis (UC). We report a case of
PLE
in a 26-year-old male patient with UC. The patient lost 50 pounds in the setting of a UC flare and was found to have an albumin level of 1.2 g/dl. Although the patient's UC was clinically controlled with steroids, the weight loss and hypoalbuminemia persisted with the patient's course complicated by development of
deep vein thrombosis
and pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis of
PLE
was confirmed with measurement of stool alpha-1-antitrypsin clearance. The patient's condition significantly improved following procto-colectomy.

We experienced a patient with severe
protein-losing enteropathy
and generalized inflammatory polyposis. In addition, this case was complicated by
deep venous thrombosis
and pulmonary embolism. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk for thromboembolic events, most commonly in the setting of active colitis. However, our patient was in the remission stage. We report the occurrence of
deep venous thrombosis
and pulmonary embolism as a complication of inflammatory polyposis and
protein-losing enteropathy
in the remission stage of ulcerative colitis.
