This review clarifies malabsorption, a condition of defective nutrient passage through the intestinal mucosa. It emphasizes clinical evaluation, including patient history and physical examination, over excessive testing for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Malabsorption syndrome presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Current diagnostic methods can be invasive, costly, and poorly tolerated.
  • A need exists for efficient and accurate malabsorption assessment.

Purpose:

  • To review the causes and diagnostic methods for malabsorption syndrome.
  • To highlight the importance of clinical evaluation (anamnesis and objective examination).
  • To propose guidelines for diagnosing suspected malabsorption.

Summary:

  • Malabsorption is defined as defective passage of digested products through the intestinal mucosa.
  • The study reviews literature and personal experience on malabsorption diagnosis.
  • Essential diagnostic tools include patient history and physical examination, often overlooked in favor of numerous tests.

Impact:

  • Promotes a more accurate and patient-friendly diagnostic approach to malabsorption.
  • Reduces unnecessary, expensive, and poorly tolerated diagnostic procedures.
  • Provides practical guidelines for clinicians managing suspected malabsorption.
