Nutritional absorption disorders are conditions that impair the body's ability to absorb essential nutrients from food. These disorders can result from various factors, including damage to the intestines, certain medical conditions, or the presence of infections. Common symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues. Individuals with nutritional absorption disorders may experience deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, leading to further health complications. Diagnosis often involves medical history, physical examinations, and tests to assess nutrient levels. Treatment typically focuses on managing the underlying cause and may include dietary changes or supplements to restore nutrient balance.
