| | Merck Vet. Edition - Malabsorption Syndromes In Small Animals: Introduction |
 | | Malabsorptive syndromes in dogs have been studied in most detail; however, basic diagnostic and therapeutic principles are relevant to other species. | | | A thorough diagnostic approach in dogs and cats with signs suggestive of malabsorption is needed to help determine association with systemic or metabolic disease. | | | Preliminary data suggest that this may be a useful approach to detect protein-losing enteropathy in dogs. |

| | Nutrition Research Newsletter: Fat Malabsorption In Cystic Fibrosis Patients |
| | With the information that fat malabsorption in CF patients is caused by incomplete solubilization of LCFA, more research can be done to improve intestinal uptake of LCFA, and thereby improve the nutritional status of cystic fibrosis patients. | | | Ten CF patients were selected for this study and were chosen to act as their own controls. | | | However, this method does not help researchers understand fat malabsorption in CF patients. |

| | Malabsorption syndrome |
| | Radiation therapy may injure the mucosal lining of the intestine, resulting in diarrhea that may not become evident until several years later. | | | Inflammation, infection, injury, or surgical removal of portions of the intestine may also result in absorption problems; reduced length or surface area of intestine available for fluid and nutrient absorption can result in malabsorption. | | | The first phase involves a thorough medical history and physical examination by a physician, who will then determine the appropriate laboratory studies and x rays to assist in diagnosis. |

| | People with malabsorption may have symptoms of frequent, loose, watery stools; pale, foul-smelling, bulky stools; abdominal pain, gas, and bloating; weight loss; fatigue; canker sores; muscle cramps; delayed growth or short stature; bone and joint pain; seizures; painful skin rash; night blindness; easy bruising; and infertility. | | | Malabsorption is not a disease by itself, but rather the result of some other condition that is present. |

| | Obstruction of the intestinal lymphatic system, such as occurs in intestinal lymphangiectasia, results in lipoprotein malabsorption. | | | A gastrectomy with vagotomy can result in rapid gastric emptying and transit through the small intestine. | | | Pancreatic insufficiency, such as occurs with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, is the cause of malabsorption in 20 to 30% of cases in the elderly. |

| | Malabsorption causes weight loss, glossitis, carpopedal spasms, absent tendon reflexes, cutaneous bruising, flatulence, and abdominal distention, bloating, or discomfort resulting from increased intestinal bulk and gas production. | | | Because stores are extensive, a low level indicates a chronic condition. | | | Dermatitis herpetiformis is often associated with a mild degree of celiac-like enteropathy; biliary cirrhosis and pancreatic cancer cause jaundice; mesenteric ischemia causes abdominal angina; chronic pancreatitis causes boring central abdominal pain; and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome causes severe, persistent ulcerative dyspepsia. |
