Kidney stone
High-Yield Explanation
Sho bowel syndrome is associated with hypergastrinemia rather than hypogastrinemia probably due to reduced small intestinal catabolism of circulating gastrin or due to reduced hormonal inhibition of acid secretion. Other features includes diarrhea, steatorrhea, increase in calcium oxalate calculi and increased incidence of cholesterol gall stones.
