Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fat malabsorption primarily affects the digestion and absorption of dietary fats, leading to symptoms and conditions related to fat and fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, such as weight loss, essential fatty acid deficiency, increased risk of kidney stones due to altered calcium and oxalate metabolism, and deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). It does not directly cause loss of sodium and potassium, which are electrolytes more commonly associated with water balance and not directly linked to fat absorption processes.
