Malabsorption Syndromes

Malabsorption syndromes encompass a wide spectrum of conditions resulting from impaired digestion or absorption of essential nutrients. Dysfunction in any of the key phases of absorption luminal, mucosal, and postabsorptive results in common malabsorption disorders such as fat malabsorption, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bile acid malabsorption, celiac disease, and conditions affecting intestinal lymphatic flow. This activity provides clinicians with a in-depth review of the gastrointestinal mechanisms involved in nutrient assimilation, highlighting the interdependent processes of digestion and absorption. The course outlines pediatric-specific conditions, congenital malabsorption disorders, and the systemic implications of vitamin and mineral deficiencies, as well as, differentiating malabsorption from maldigestion and selecting appropriate diagnostic studies based on clinical presentation. By examining diverse causes from enzymatic defects to mucosal injury and anatomical disruptions clinicians will be better equipped to diagnose, manage, and coordinate care for patients with nutrient absorption disorders. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in identifying malabsorption syndromes, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing these conditions to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
