| Core Tip |
This is a global consensus on the classification, etiology, diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment of milder enteropathy. There is no such thing as non-specific. The consensus on microscopic enteritis (ME) brings an end to the era of the non-specificities and opens a new prospect in characterisations of milder enteropathies including submicroscopic small intestinal mucosal changes in patients presenting with unexplained malabsorption syndrome and other category of so called non-specific gastrointestinal disorders. Recognition of ME is the first step toward identifying the masked etiologies under the out of date diagnoses like irritable bowel syndrome and other so called functional gut disorders. It proposes the algorithm for imposing specific targeted treatment according to the etiologies instead of symptomatic treatment aiming to prevent the long term comorbidities. |
