Enteropathy?: You've had some investigatoin if you know you have hyperplastic polyps, but you don't note in colon, stomach, or elsewhere. You should be investigated for protein-losing enteropathy by a gastroenterologist. You maigh talso consider evaluation for cirrhosis, as this is associated with low protein. Good luck.
