Nolan JD, Johnston IM, Walters JRF, 2012, Physiology of malabsorption, Surgery (United Kingdom), Vol: 30, Pages: 268-274, ISSN: 0263-9319

Malabsorption occurs when the function of the gastrointestinal tract is suboptimal and nutrient absorption is reduced. Malnutrition, weight loss, diarrhoea, steatorrhoea, anaemia and other specific nutrient deficiencies can be produced. This article will review the principles of normal nutrient absorption and the pathophysiology in disorders which result in malabsorption. Normal absorption needs coordinated processes of motility, hormone release, digestive secretion from the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and intestine, and the expression of specific enzymes and transporter molecules. Gastric, pancreatic and intestinal disorders can all produce malabsorption. These can be complications of surgical procedures, or be due to inflammatory and autoimmune disorders such as coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, chronic pancreatitis, or autoimmune gastritis. Understanding the mechanisms involved and how these are affected by surgical procedures and disease will enable malabsorption to be recognized, investigated and treated appropriately. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Johnston I, Nolan J, Pattni SS, Walters JRFet al., 2011, New insights into bile acid malabsorption., Curr Gastroenterol Rep, Vol: 13, Pages: 418-425

Bile acid malabsorption occurs when there is impaired absorption of bile acids in the terminal ileum, so interrupting the normal enterohepatic circulation. The excess bile acids in the colon cause diarrhea, and treatment with bile acid sequestrants is beneficial. The condition can be diagnosed with difficulty by measuring fecal bile acids, or more easily by retention of selenohomocholyltaurine (SeHCAT), where this is available. Chronic diarrhea caused by primary bile acid diarrhea appears to be common, but is under-recognized where SeHCAT testing is not performed. Measuring excessive bile acid synthesis with 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one may be an alternative means of diagnosis. It appears that there is no absorption defect in primary bile acid diarrhea but, instead, an overproduction of bile acids. Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) inhibits hepatic bile acid synthesis. Defective production of FGF19 from the ileum may be the cause of primary bile acid diarrhea.

Bowel symptoms including diarrhoea can be produced when excess bile acids (BA) are present in the colon. This condition, known as bile acid or bile salt malabsorption, has been under recognized, as the best diagnostic method, the (75)Se-homocholic acid taurine (SeHCAT) test, is not available in many countries and is not fully utilized in others. Reduced SeHCAT retention establishes that this is a complication of many other gastrointestinal diseases. Repeated studies show SeHCAT tests are abnormal in about 30% of patients otherwise diagnosed as diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome or functional diarrhoea, with an estimated population prevalence of around 1%. Recent work suggests that the condition previously called idiopathic bile acid malabsorption (BAM) is not in fact due to a defect in absorption, but results from an overproduction of BA because of defective feedback inhibition of hepatic bile acid synthesis, a function of the ileal hormone fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19). The approach to treatment currently depends on binding excess BA, to reduce their secretory actions, using colestyramine, colestipol and, most recently, colesevelam. Colesevelam has a number of potential advantages that merit further investigation in trials directed at patients with bile acid diarrhoea.
