Abstract:
A boy aged 15 years developed Ménétrier's disease with considerably elevated gastrointestinal protein loss. During treatment with ranitidine the gastric mucosa and the protein loss were normalized within 3 years. This therapy is being continued since 6 1/2 years meanwhile. A long-term treatment of Ménétrier's disease with ranitidine should, therefore, be tried in other cases.
