Acute hypertrophic gastropathy of childhood is a rare disease characterized by gastrointestinal complaints and hypoalbuminemia due to protein loss from the stomach. The disease is benign, with complete recovery within a few months. We describe 2 girls with this condition, both 3 years old, in whom a detailed workup was performed, including upper gastrointestinal tract X-rays, ultrasound examination of the abdomen, and gastroscopy with mucosal biopsy. Gastrointestinal protein loss was demonstrated by measuring alpha 1 antitrypsin in the feces. Both children recovered spontaneously within a few weeks.
儿童急性肥厚性胃病是一种罕见疾病，其特征为胃肠道不适以及因胃蛋白丢失导致的低白蛋白血症。该疾病为良性，数月内可完全康复。我们描述了2名患有此病的3岁女童，对其进行了详细检查，包括上消化道X线检查、腹部超声检查以及胃镜检查并取黏膜活检。通过检测粪便中的α1抗胰蛋白酶证实了胃肠道蛋白丢失。两名儿童均在数周内自行康复。
