- Impaired absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Malabsorption: decreased absorption of fat and other nutrients caused by liver, biliary, pancreatic or intestinal disease. The 72-hour fecal fat determination is the best single test for mal- absorption.
- Your small intestine does most of the digesting of the foods you eat. If you have a malabsorption syndrome, your small intestine cannot absorb nutrients from foods.causes of malabsorption syndromes include
- celiac disease
- lactose intolerance
- short bowel syndrome, which happens after surgery to remove a large portion of the small intestine
- whipple disease, a rare bacterial infection
- genetic diseases
- certain medicines
treatment of malabsorption syndromes depends on the cause.
