The word Underlying means "underneath" of "beneath". An underlying medical condition often refers to a condition that may or may not be hidden by something more obvious, and may or may not be present with another medical condition. Underlying Medical Conditions often contribute to another symptom or disease. Many underlying medical conditions may also be considered co-morbidities (co-diseases).
Examples of underlying medical conditions include:
Obesity
Compromised immune system
Malabsorption
