epeacidmalabsorpció
Epeacidmalabsorpció refers to a condition characterized by impaired absorption of bile acids in the small intestine. Bile acids are produced by the liver and are essential for the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. They are secreted into the small intestine, where they emulsify fats, facilitating their breakdown by enzymes. After their role in digestion, the majority of bile acids are reabsorbed in the terminal ileum and returned to the liver via the enterohepatic circulation.
When epeacidmalabsorpció occurs, this reabsorption process is disrupted. This can lead to a deficiency of bile
The causes of epeacidmalabsorpció are diverse. Conditions affecting the terminal ileum, such as Crohn's disease, ileal
