intestinal malabsorption (medicine)


intestinal malabsorption
<gastroenterology> The inadequate absorption of nutrients from the small intestine.

This can result in loss of weight and abnormal appearing stools. Malabsorption can be caused by lesions of the small intestine, amyloidosis, lack of digestive enzymes (for example lactose intolerance) or bile salts or surgical operations.
