How does intestinal failure affect the body

Intestinal insufficiency prevents the body from absorbing nutrients present in food and necessary for the body to function.

Explanation:

Intestinal insufficiency refers to a set of signs and symptoms secondary to intestinal mucosa malabsorption of one or more nutrients from the diet, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals and vitamins. This malabsorption may be for just one specific nutrient or a set of them, depending on the type of pathology involved in the process.

The result of this is nutrient deficiency causing problems in the body's functioning.
