Popis:	Background Diagnosis of protein loss into the gastrointestinal tract using noninvasive techniques is challenging. In people, scintigraphy not only is a sensitive tool to confirm protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE), but it also allows for localization of protein loss. Hypothesis/Objectives To investigate the feasibility of 99mTc‐labeled human serum albumin (HSA) scintigraphy in dogs with PLE in comparison with control dogs. Animals A total of 8 clinically healthy control research dogs and 7 client‐owned dogs with gastrointestinal clinical signs and hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin concentration
