Malabsorption syndrome can be suspected in situations ranging from isolated deficiencies to the classic association between abundant chronic diarrhea and weight loss. Pitfalls in diagnosis come from the multiplicity of pathophysiological mechanisms. Malabsorption can happen in the gut lumen (maldigestion), the intestinal wall, or involve transporters beyond the enterocyte. The challenge is in the diagnostic process, which requires a thorough questioning and physical examination, conducting laboratory tests, endoscopy and imaging studies to confirm malabsorption and find its etiology so as to provide the best treatment.
