Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Malabsorption. We will discuss the pathophysiology, focusing on the impaired absorption of nutrients from the intestine due to various causes such as celiac disease, pancreatic insufficiency, Crohn's disease, and bacterial overgrowth. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the clinical manifestations, including weight loss, diarrhea, and nutritional deficiencies. Finally, we will review the diagnostic approach, highlighting stool tests, blood tests for nutrient deficiencies, and specific diagnostic tests like the D-xylose absorption test. We will conclude with management strategies for Malabsorption, emphasizing dietary modifications, supplementation of deficient nutrients, and treating the underlying cause.
