Abstract
A 44-year-old male had persistent hypoalbuminemia and ascites after liver transplantation. Imaging of the liver and gastrointestinal system was normal. Urine examination was negative for proteinuria. A diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy was suspected, and a duodenal biopsy was done. Duodenal biopsy was positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV). The patient improved with CMV treatment.
