The individual may develop a range of symptoms and signs arsing from this condition . The malabsorption may be general or specific

There may be several causes and factors

that can lead to the development and progression of malabsorption syndrome . The proteins carbohydrates , fats and vitamins are absorbed though the mucosa of the small intestines . The actual process of digestion begins in the mouth and is continued through the oesophagus and the stomach . Once the food reaches the small intestines , it is partly digested in the form of a bolus and is absorbed by the mucosa of the small intestines . The entire process of digestion has three phases namely the luminal phase , mucosal phase and the removal phase . In the luminal phase , the nutrients present in the partly digested food is hydrolysed and made more soluble using enzymes and substances emitted by the liver and the pancreas . In the mucosal phase , the epithelial cells present in the mucosa of the small intestines absorb some of these nutrients and process them to be dispatched to other parts of the body . In the removal phase , the nutrients enter blood or the lymph to be sent to various parts of the body . Malabsorption syndrome implies that a defect or a disturbance (From congenital or acquired reasons ) develops in any of these three phases . A defect may develop in digestive process resulting in the failure of the body to digest the food . The digestive enzymes may not be produced or certain congenital or acquired structural defects may affect the structures of the digestive system (such as the liver , gall bladder , pancreases , etc . Besides , several infectious diseases and inflammatory conditions in the body can also bring about malabsorption There may also be diss in the transportation in the intestinal mucosa that would affect in the absorption of the nutrients and lead to malabsorption syndrome . Some of the conditions in which malabsorption syndrome can develop include pancreatic diss (such as pancreatitis Shwachman-Diamond syndrome , chronic alcoholism , cystic fibrosis and carcinoma of pancreas , bile deficiency (such as removal of the terminal ileum , blockage of the entero-hepatic circulation , etc , uncoordinated emptying of the contents of the stomach (such as in gastrectomy and gastroenterostomy , generalised mucosal diss (such as celiac disease , tropical sprue , lyumphoma , radiation enteritis , giardiasis Abetalipoproteinemia , agammaglobulinemia , radiation enteritis ulcerative jejunitis , short bowel syndrome , bacterial overgrowth Whipple 's disease , etc , malabsorption of certain substance (such as lactase deficiency , impaired fat absorption (such as gastrinoma and colipase deficiency , abnormal micelle formation (such as chronic liver disease , bacterial overgrowth , cholestatic disease of the liver , Crohn 's disease and ileal removal , unknown mechanisms (such...
