Q. Predominant feature of steatorrhoea?

A predominant feature is delayed and defective absorption of fat, which results in bulky stools containing large quantities of fat (known as steatorrhoea). The severity of steatorrhoea depends on the quantity of fat in the diet. Besides the absorption of water, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals is also impaired. These defects are due to flattening of the villi in the jejunum (a part of the small intestine). Remission and relapses are common if proper medical and dietary care is not provided.
