Every FMK condition
299 diseases, deficiencies, toxicities and drug mechanisms harvested from every FMK deck — the ones sprinkled through a single bullet as much as the ones with their own slide. Pick what you're given and what you have to name, or let it cycle; distractors come from the same category so you have to discriminate (hypoketotic vs. ketotic hypoglycemia, which GSD, which urea-cycle enzyme…). Every answer shows the whole card with the lecture and slide.

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency Acquired / not inherited
Defect / target: Insufficient pancreatic amylase, protease, and lipase secretion
Mechanism: The pancreas fails to produce enough digestive enzymes, so starch, protein and fat are maldigested and malabsorbed.
↑ Accumulates: Undigested starch, protein, fat in stool· ↓ Deficient: Pancreatic amylase, proteases, lipase
Presentation: Steatorrhea, weight loss, bloating, osmotic diarrhea, fat-soluble vitamin deficiency
Labs: Low fecal elastase, fecal fat
Treatment: Pancreatic enzyme replacement
Learn the mechanism: Lipid digestion & absorption →
