Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of short bowel syndrome include anemia, hypoalbuminemia, low level of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. Level of acute phase reactants is high. Abnormal liver function tests including elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin might be seen. Fluid and electrolyte imbalance might be present. Fecal fat test is usually positive.
