[Malabsorption syndrome] is a medical condition where the patient can not absorb important nutrients, including proteins, fats, and vitamins.
Malabsorption can be caused by conditions such as [celiacs disease], [Crohns disease], and intestinal damage. It can also be passed down through genetics.
Malabsorption syndrome for most people is curable with the help of nutrient supplements. But in some very rare cases, malabsorption can be fatal, and the patient will have a shorter lifespan.
With modern medicine constantly improving, hopefully, there will be a cure in the future
