Which of the following Vitamin deficiency is seen in sho bowel syndrome ?
High-Yield Explanation
Sho-bowel syndrome is a disorder clinically defined by malabsorption, diarrhea, steatorrhea, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and malnutrition. Any disease, traumatic injury, vascular accident, or other pathology that leaves less than 200 cm of ble small bowel or results in a loss of 50% or more of the small intestine places the patient at risk for developing sho-bowel syndrome. Ileal resection severely decreases the capacity to absorb water and electrolytes. In addition, the terminal ileum is the site of absorption of bile salts and vitamin B-12. So those will be deficient in such patients.
