Lipodystrophy Intestinal

Interstitial lipodystrophy or lipogranulomatosis is a rare disease characterized by impaired metabolism of lipids and proteins in the body. This pathological process occurs mainly in older women. It can be either a single lesion of the intestine or multiple – with obstruction of the excretory ducts of pancreatic fat. Lipogravullomatosis is one of the complicated manifestations of systemic diseases and other disorders of fat metabolism.

Due to the increased need for energy, people suffering from this disease are forced to eat much more than usual, thereby causing overeating. This overload of digestive fats adversely affects health, adding to the problems of digesting food. Patients experience abdominal pain, constipation and other digestive disorders. It is necessary to know the treatment plan: conservative or surgical. The doctor prescribes vitamins, probiotics and bioenzymes. At the same time, antispasmodics are taken for relief. If there is a significant accumulation of exudate, a puncture is performed. In rare cases, the omentum is removed.
