Overview
There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].
OR
[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].
OR
[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
OR
Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.
OR
If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].
OR
The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].
OR
There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].
Classification
- 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
- Secondary lactose malabsorption
- Primary lactose malabsorption may be classified into 3 subtypes include:
- Acquired primary lactase deficiency
- Congenital lactase deficiency
- Developmental lactase deficiency
Acquired primary lactase deficiency ( lactase nonpersistence, adult-type hypolactasia)
- The most common cause of primary lactase malabsorbtion
- Autosomal recessive trait[1]
- Intestinal lactase levels is deceresed 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 milks product into adulthood [2]
- Persistence of intestinal lactase until adulthood is inherited as autosomal dominant characteristic[3]
Congenital lactase deficiency
- Rare autosomal recessive[4]
- Absence of lactase activity
- Characteristic findings:[5]
- Watery diarrhea
- Medullary nephrocalcinosis
- Hypercalcemia that will be ceased after one week lactose free diet.
- More in Finnish population
Developmental lactase deficiency
- Low lactase levels in premature infants that born at 28 to 32 weeks of gestation[6]
- Clinical lactose intolerance is uncommon because colonic flora ferment lactose to hydrogen gas 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]
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth:
- Fermentation of lactose in the small bowel may be increased and leads to symptoms of lactose intolerance
- Breath hydrogen levels peaks very early in lactose challenge test
- Small intestinal infection such as giardiasis
- Small intestinal inflammation:[8][9][10][11]
- It causes malabsorption through flattening of the villi of the intestinal epithelium.
- Lactase enzyme is affected first because it is located at the distal part of the villi.
- Following are a few disease that are related to small intestinal inflammation:
- Whipple's disease (intestinal lipodystrophy)
- Celiac sprue
- Tropical sprue
- Inflammatory bowel disease more in pateints with crohn disease
- Drug induced enteritis
- Radiation induced enteritis
- Severe gastroenteritis
