steatorrhea
n. presence of excess fat in the feces (Medicine)


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Steatorrhea
Steatorrhoea is the formation of bulky, grey or pale faeces. Stools may also float (due to excess gas from carbohydrate malabsorption), have an oily appearance or be foul smelling. There is increased fat excretion, which can be measured by determining the faecal fat level. While definitions have not been standardised, fat excretion in faeces in excess of 0.3 (g/kg)/day is considered indicative of steatorrhoea. Possible causes can be lack of bile acids (due to liver damage or hypolipidemic drugs), defects in pancreatic juices (enzymes) and defective mucosal cells.
