Description
Duodenum lining. Endoscope view showing the duodenum, the uppermost and shortest part of the small intestine where most of the chemical digestion takes place. The patient has coeliac disease (or gluten enteropathy), which is an uncommon genetic condition where the lining of the intestine reacts to gluten, a protein found in cereals. This causes malabsorption, mineral and vitamin deficiency.
