Severe hypoalbuminemia (i.e., < 2 g/dl) in an animal with diarrhea suggests a protein-losing enteropathy (PLE); however, diarrhea (even when severe) in no way is sufficient to eliminate hepatic disease as the cause of the hypoalbuminemia.

Diagnostic Approach. The causes of chronic diarrhea in dogs are multiple, multiple factors are involved, and the prevalence of different diseases can vary depending on the geographical location. Some diseases can generally be ruled out using relatively simple exams (e.g., intestinal parasites).
In this VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, Dr Garret Pachtinger reviews causes of hypoalbuminemia in dogs and cats. Liver disease, protein-losing enteropathy and protein-losing nephropathy should be your top differentials. Learn the appropriate workup in veterinary medicine.
