Malabsorption Syndromes
Malabsorption Syndromes are disorders where the small intestine cannot absorb nutrients effectively. Causes include celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and chronic pancreatitis. Symptoms encompass diarrhoea, weight loss, and fatigue. Diagnosis often involves blood tests, stool tests, and biopsies. Management requires addressing the underlying cause and dietary adjustments.
