Congenital malformations, deformities, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99).
- Abetalipoproteinemia (synonym: homozygous familial hypobetalipoproteinemia, ABL/HoFHBL) – genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance; severe form of familial hypobetalipoproteinemia characterized by deficiency of apolipoprotein B48 and B100; defect in the formation of chylomicrons leading to fat digestion disorders in children, resulting in malabsorption (disorder of food absorption).
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).
- Cystic fibrosis (ZF) – genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by the production of secretions in various organs to be tamed.
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Giardiasis – small intestinal infection caused by Giardia lamblia (Giardia duodenalis).
- Whipple’s disease – a chronic relapsing disease caused by the gram-positive rod bacterium Tropheryma whippelii that can affect the entire body (symptoms: Fever, joint pain, brain dysfunction, weight loss, diarrhea, abdominal pain and more).
- Mycobacterium avium intracellulare infection in AIDS patients.
Liver, gallbladder, and biliary tract – Pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
- Pancreatic duct obstruction – obstruction of a duct of the pancreas.
- Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) – inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient digestive enzymes.
- Occlusion of the bile ducts, v.a. by stone, tumor.
Mouth, esophagus (esophagus), stomach and intestine (K00-K67; K90-K93).
- Chronic ischemia of the small intestine – reduced blood supply to the small intestine.
- Impaired intestinal lymphatic drainage after congenital intestinal lymphangiectasia.
- Short bowel syndrome – problems with absorption of nutrients due to extensive surgical removal of small bowel.
- Malassimilation – disturbance of pre-digestion in the stomach, enzymatic breakdown of food components (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency / disease of the pancreas associated with insufficient production of enzymes), fat emulsification (eg, bile acid deficiency in cholestasis / biliary obstruction) and absorption or removal of absorbed food.
- Tropical sprue – diarrheal disease occurring in the tropics due to folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency.
- Celiac disease (gluten-induced enteropathy) – chronic disease of the mucosa of the small intestine (small intestinal mucosa), which is based on hypersensitivity to the cereal protein gluten.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Somatostatinoma – neuroendocrine tumor that produces somatostatin.
- Obstruction of the bile ducts by tumor, unspecified.
Further
- Acquired lymphatic drainage disorder after trauma (injuries), etc.
Medication
- Colchicine (alkaloid of autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale)) – drug used for gout attacks.
- Colestyramine (strong base anion exchanger) – drug, which is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor.
- Neomycin (antibiotic)
