Today, the term "malabsorption syndrome" is widely used in medical practice as a general term to describe the symptoms of indigestion, absorption, and transport by the intestinal mucosa of adequately digested foods, including vitamins and trace elements, resulting in a variety of metabolic disorders.The purpose of this review is to analyze scientific data that highlight information on modern views on the etiology, mechanisms of development and clinical manifestations of malabsorption syndrome.Conclusion. Today, data on the mechanisms of development and progression of the malabsorption syndrome have been significantly expanded. This makes it possible to develop methods of prevention of the trigger factors, timely correct treatment and prevention of complications of this syndrome.

Oxidation processes play an important role in damage of the renal structures, especiallyagainst a background of other serious pathologies, in particular, malabsorptionsyndrome.The study of the mechanisms of mutual aggravation and progression of kidneydamage against a background of malabsorption is a very urgent problem of the presenttime.Purpose - to investigate the state of free radical oxidation of lipids, proteins andantioxidant defense in patients with chronic kidney disease of different ages withoxaluria against a background of malabsorption syndrome.Material and methods. 98 patients with chronic kidney disease of the I-II stages(pyelonephritis) with the presence of oxaluria against a background of malabsorptionsyndrome of different age were examined.The age of the patients under examination was32 - 64. All patients underwent a study of the system of free radical oxidation of lipidsand proteins.Results. chronic kidney disease with the presence of oxaluria is accompanied by asignificant increase in the blood content of free radical oxidation products, namelyaldehyde and ketone dinitrophenylhydrazones, especially of a neutral nature,malondialdehyde, as well as a significant decrease in the indicators of the antioxidantdefense system, which manifested itself to a greater extent in patients with older age.groups.Conclusion. An essential factor in the development and progression of chronic kidneydisease with the presence of oxaluria against a background of malabsorption syndromeis an increase in the intensity of free radical oxidation of lipids and proteins (mainly dueto aldehyde and ketondinitrophenylhydrazones of a neutral nature).
