enteropathies

Enteropathies are diseases that affect the intestines, leading to issues with digestion and absorption of nutrients. They can arise from various causes, including infections, autoimmune reactions, and genetic factors. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies. Conditions such as celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are examples of enteropathies. Diagnosis often involves medical history, examinations, and tests, while treatment may include dietary changes, medications, or other medical interventions to manage symptoms and improve intestinal health.
