Abstract

Enteropathy refers to any pathology of the intestine. Although enteritis specifically refers to an inflammation of the intestine, and is thus a more specific term than "enteropathy", the two phrases are sometimes used interchangeably.

Types

Specific types of enteropathy include:

- Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma

- Environmental enteropathy

- Eosinophilic enteropathy

- Gluten-sensitive enteropathy (which can progress to coeliac disease)

- Coeliac disease

- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV Enteropathy

- Immunodysregulation polyendocrinopathy and enteropathy, X-linked (see FOXP3)

- Protein-losing enteropathy

- Radiation enteropathy

- Tropical enteropathy

If the condition also involves the stomach, it is known as "gastroenteropathy".

In pigs, porcine proliferative enteropathy is a diarrheal disease.
