Normal absorption and digestion occurs in sequential stages. In the lumen of the proximal intestine pancreatic enzymes and bile salts transform complex substances in simple products which can be absorbed by the enterocyte and transported by lymphatics or portal veins. Malabsorption syndromes can be secondary to alterations in both digestion and/or absorption process. We herein review the tests used to establish the diagnosis of intestinal malabsorption syndromes with special reference to those available in our country. Finally we propose an algorithm taking into account the frequency of diseases causing malabsorption in Mexico.
正常的吸收和消化按顺序分阶段进行。在近端肠道腔内，胰腺酶和胆汁盐将复杂物质转化为简单产物，这些产物可被肠上皮细胞吸收，并通过淋巴管或门静脉运输。吸收不良综合征可能继发于消化和/或吸收过程的改变。我们在此回顾用于诊断肠道吸收不良综合征的检测方法，特别提及我国可用的检测方法。最后，我们提出一种算法，该算法考虑了墨西哥导致吸收不良的疾病发生频率。
