Table 2 Pathogenesis of maldigestion

Mechanism	Explanation
Decreased pancreatic production	Lack of functional tissue or decreased endogenous neurohormonal stimulation
Decrease in delivery	Pancreatic duct obstruction
Decreased activation	Low duodenal pH
Premature enzymatic degradation	Decreased contact time due to increased motility, impaired interaction with chyme and biliary salts, and intestinal bacterial overgrowth
