In various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, especially those that are accompanied by diarrhea, the body loses a large amount of protein and nitrogenous substances. In this regard, the study of serum proteins in patients suffering from colon polyposis is of great interest, since diarrhea and rectal bleeding are the leading symptoms of this suffering. The serum protein was determined by a refractometer, and the protein fractions were determined by electrophoresis on paper. More than 200 patients with polyps and polyposis of the colon were examined. Depending on the duration of the disease, the prevalence of the pathological process and its clinical course, various degrees of hypo- and dysproteinemia were revealed. A significant number of patients showed pronounced hypoproteinemia (sometimes below 5 g%) with a decrease in the albumin-globulin coefficient to 0.8-0.5.
