Lactose intolerance
International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and some dairy products, due to a deficiency of lactase, the enzyme that metabolizes lactose. Lactose intolerance occurs when lactose is not completely broken down and consequently the sugar cannot be absorbed into the blood.
