There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].
There is no established system for the classification of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance may be classified according to its causes into 2 groups: primary lactose malabsorption and secondary lactose malabsorption. Primary lactose malabsorption may be classified into 3 subtypes: acquired primary lactase deficiency, congenital lactase deficiency and developmental lactase deficiency. Secondary lactose malabsorption occurs as a result of the underlying [[Intestine|intestinal]] diseases such as [[small intestinal bacterial overgrowth]], [[Small intestine|small intestinal]] [[infection]] such as [[giardiasis]] and [[Small intestine|small intestinal]] [[inflammation]].

Overview

There is no established system for the classification of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance may be classified according to its causes into 2 groups: primary lactose malabsorption and secondary lactose malabsorption. Primary lactose malabsorption may be classified into 3 subtypes: acquired primary lactase deficiency, congenital lactase deficiency and developmental lactase deficiency. Secondary lactose malabsorption occurs as a result of the underlying intestinal diseases such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, small intestinal infection such as giardiasis and small intestinal inflammation.

  • There is no established system for the classification of lactose intolerance.
  • Lactose intolerance can be classified according to its causes into 2 groups:
    • Primary lactose malabsorption 
    • Secondary lactose malabsorption
  • Primary lactose malabsorption can be classified into 3 subtypes:
    • Acquired primary lactase deficiency 
    • Congenital lactase deficiency
    • Developmental lactase deficiency

Primary lactose intolerance

Acquired primary lactase deficiency ( lactase nonpersistence, adult-type hypolactasia)

  • The most common cause of primary lactase malabsorbtion.
  • In this type of disease, environmental and genetic factors collaborate with each other to develop lactose intolerance.
  • Autosomal recessive trait.[1]
  • Intestinal lactase levels are decreased at preschool age in many populations especially in Asia and Africa.
  • Elevated lactase activity is maintained in Caucasians such as Northern European.
  • Convergent evolution of lactase persistence is seen in some populations in Africa that domesticate cows and consume milk product into adulthood. [2]
  • Persistence of intestinal lactase until adulthood is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.[3]

Congenital lactase deficiency

Developmental lactase deficiency

  • Low lactase levels in premature infants that were born at 28 to 32 weeks of gestation[6] 
  • Clinical lactose intolerance is uncommon because colonic flora ferment lactose to hydrogen and short chain fatty acids and then fatty acids are absorbed by the colon.

Secondary lactose malabsorption

Secondary lactose malabsorption occurs as a result of the underlying intestinal diseases such as:[7]
