Appointment Pancreatitis What is pancreatitis? Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. The inflammation may be sudden (acute) or ongoing (chronic). Acute pancreatitis usually involves a single "attack," after which the pancreas returns to normal. Severe acute pancreatitis can be life threatening. With chronic pancreatitis, permanent damage occurs to the pancreas and its function, often leading to fibrosis (scarring). What causes pancreatitis? The most common causes of pancreatitis are: gallstones that block the pancreatic duct alcohol abuse, which can lead to blockage of the small pancreatic ductules What are the symptoms of pancreatitis? The following are the other most common symptoms of pancreatitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: nausea vomiting fast pulse feeling ill fever swelling in the upper abdomen ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity) dropping blood pressure severe abdominal pain in upper abdomen (with acute pancreatitis) The symptoms of pancreatitis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a physician for diagnosis.

Advanced Search Childhood Pancreatitis GORDON URETSKY, M.D. University of Texas Health Center Tyler, Texas MARKUS GOLDSCHMIEDT, M.D. Southwestern Medical Center Dallas, Texas KYLE JAMES, M.D. University of Texas Health Center Tyler, Texas Acute pancreatitis is a rare finding in childhood but probably more common than is generally realized. This condition should be considered in the evaluation of children with vomiting and abdominal pain, because it can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Clinical suspicion is required to make the diagnosis, especially when the serum amylase concentration is normal. Recurrent pancreatitis may be familial as a result of inherited biochemical or anatomic abnormalities. Patients with hereditary pancreatitis are at high risk for pancreatic cancer. P ancreatitis is a disease process with multiple triggers that may cause activation of proteases within the pancreas. It is rare in children, and the causes are more varied in children than in adults (70 to 80 percent of adult cases are related to either alcohol intake or gallstones). In about 25 percent of childhood cases, the etiology is unknown, but trauma, multisystem disease and drugs account for most identified causes. Illustrative Case FIGURE 1.

KATERNDAHL, M.D., M.A. University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas -receptor blockers have not been shown to decrease symptoms or hospital stays in patients with acute pancreatitis. Systemic antibiotics have been found to improve outcome in patients with severe disease. With supportive care, most patients have a good clinical outcome. (Am Fam Physician 2000;62:164-74.) T he increased incidence of pancreatitis, coupled with new treatment options, poses a challenge for primary care physicians. Between 1960 and 1980, the incidence of acute pancreatitis increased 10-fold. Mortality secondary to pancreatitis ranges from 2 to 9 percent. Primary care physicians must make the diagnosis, determine etiology, provide supportive therapy and categorize the severity of pancreatitis to choose the best treatment approach. Although acute pancreatitis has numerous causes (Table 1) this article focuses on the two most common causesalcohol abuse and biliary tract obstruction related to cholelithiasis (Figure 1) . These two conditions account for 60 to 80 percent of all cases of acute pancreatitis. Diagnosis, risk assessment and formulation of a management plan are discussed.

La pancreatitis aguda es una grave enfermedad inflamatoria, de carácter no bacteriano que resulta de la autodigestión del páncreas por las enzimas que secreta el propio órgano. La mayoría de los pacientes con pancreatitis aguda exhibe una evolución clínica autolimitante y relativamente libre de complicaciones mayores; pero alrededor de una quinta parte de los casos degenera en pancreatitis necrotizante, entidad de elevada morbilidad y muy alta mortalidad. En nuestro medio la mayoría de las pancreatitis agudas son de etiología biliar; el segundo más común factor etiológico es el alcohol. La pancreatitis por ascaridiasis es relativamente frecuente en Colombia. El diagnóstico lo establece un cuadro de dolor abdominal (que no tiene patrón patognomónico) acompañado de elevados niveles de amilasemia y amilasuria. El mejor método diagnóstico disponible en la actualidad es la tomografía axial computadorizada. El tratamiento de la pancreatitis aguda consiste en: Suspensión de vía oral y, en los casos que presentan vómito, instauración de succión nasogástrica.

The presence of TAP is a sensitive and specific marker of trypsinogen activation. Inappropriate trypsinogen activation occurs in severe forms of acute pancreatitis. The release of TAP precedes all other systemic and clinical events making it an excellent early and accurate marker for this condition. ASSAY PRINCIPLE The Biotrin EIA is a quantitative competitive enzyme immunoassay for the measurement of Trypsinogen Activation Peptide in urine, plasma, perfusate or tissue culture fluids. Samples of human, rat and canine origin can be assayed. TAP in the sample inhibits the binding of anti-TAP-antibody to TAP immobilised on to the wall of the microassay well. After the reaction is complete anti-rabbit-enzyme conjugate is added, followed by substrate. The resultant colour intensity is inversely proportional to the concentration of TAP in the sample. Assay range is 0.14-200nM, equivalent to 0.56-800nM in samples diluted 1/4. Total incubation time is 2 hours.

Pancreatitis in Dogs and Cats Pancreatitis in Cats and Dogs The pancreas (image normal pancreas) is an organ in the body located next to the small intestine just after the stomach. It has two primary functions. It is an integral part of the digestion of food and it is the primary organ responsible for regulation of blood sugar in the body. When the pancreas is diseased, it can result in a very painful and debilitating condition called acute pancreatitis. Disease of the pancreas may also cause diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) or chronic pancreatic insufficiency, EPI. EPI results in the inability of the body to digest foods properly. Pancreatitis has been documented in dogs for many years. Until recently it was not thought to exist in cats. A recent study has shown that acute pancreatitis. is almost as frequent in cats as dogs. Chronic forms are more common than acute forms. Pancreatic insufficiency and pancreatic cancer are less common than inflammatory disease. Other forms of pancreatic disease in cats are cysts and pancreatic parasites. Acute pancreatitis (image acute pancreatitis The cause in most cases is not known. Several cases have been reported that were caused by trauma, abscessation of the pancreas, ingestion of certain food borne toxins, and of pancreatic duct obstruction. In cats, infectious agents such as toxoplasma, herpesvirus, FIP, and feline parvovirus may cause pancreatitis. . Some cases of liver disease may also cause pancreatitis, such as cholangiohepatitis and fatty liver disease in cats.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Pancreatitis Definition Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that is important in digestion. Pancreatitis can be acute (beginning suddenly, usually with the patient recovering fully) or chronic (progressing slowly with continued, permanent injury to the pancreas). Description Acute pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas suddenly becomes inflamed but improves. Patients recover fully from the disease, and in almost 90% of cases the symptoms disappear within about a week after treatment. The pancreas returns to its normal architecture and functioning after healing from the illness. After an attack of acute pancreatitis, tissue and cells of the pancreas return to normal. With chronic pancreatitis, damage to the pancreas occurs slowly over time. Symptoms may be persistent or sporadic, but the condition does not disappear and the pancreas is permanently impaired. Pancreatic tissue is damaged, and the tissue and cells function poorly. There are a number of causes of acute pancreatitis. The most common, however, are gallbladder disease and

Bandolier Bandolier Library search Drug Watch: Antioxidant Therapy for Recurrent Pancreatitis There is little to offer patients with recurrent pancreatitis in way of treatment. These patients suffer considerable pain, and about the only measure that will guarantee long-term pain relief is near-total pancreatectomy - which carries the penalties of malabsorption and brittle diabetes. Though the number of patients with chronic pancreatitis will be small across the UK, there may be pockets of relatively high prevalence, largely in deprived areas. These patients will consume significant amounts of health service resources - even more if near-total pancreatectomy is carried out. Any therapy which can be shown to be effective in chronic pancreatitis will therefore have an impact on healthcare provision. Causes of pancreatitis There is accumulating evidence that oxidant stress resulting from an excess of pro-oxidant over antioxidant has a key role in acute oedematous pancreatitis as well as painful exacerbations of chronic disease. Cytokines like platelet activation factor (PAF) have also been shown to be involved with development of the acute disease in animal models, but it is likely that the prime insult which triggers pancreatitis is oxidant stress.

Bandolier Bandolier Library search Chronic pancreatitis and enzyme supplements Searching Results Comment Chronic pancreatitis is uncommon (perhaps 20 cases per 100,000 population). Problems are pain and steatorrhoea, and the treatment of choice advocated by well-known textbooks is pancreatic enzyme supplementation. A new meta-analysis of the use of enzyme supplements to reduce pain [1] shows them to be without effect. Searching The search was not exhaustive. Only MEDLINE was searched, and only English language papers used. Results All studies included were of a randomised, double-blind crossover design, and of two weeks to eight months duration. There were six studies, with a total of 189 patients, with six different pancreatic enzyme supplements. Pain scoring methods seemed sensible. Only one trial of the six showed a statistical improvement over placebo as judged by patient preference - that of the two-week duration (Figure). Overall the relative benefit was 1.2 (95% confidence interval 0.8 to 1.8). Comment While the search strategy employed for this meta-analysis was sub-optimal, the results were consistent: pancreatic enzyme supplementation is not judged to be effective by patients.

59. Pancreatitis pancreatitis pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. The damagedpancreatic tissue becomes inflamed, resulting in pancreatitis. http://www.barkbytes.com/medical/med0065.htm

Pancreatitis Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. As part of the functioning of the pancreas, digestive enzymes are produced and secreted. A normally functioning pancreas maintains the production of these enzymes at appropriate levels. The imbalance of enzyme production results in the leakage of enzymes, which damages the pancreas and nearby tissues. The damaged pancreatic tissue becomes inflamed, resulting in pancreatitis. Initiating causes of enzyme imbalance can be numerous and multiple. High fat diets, "life-style" (obese with lack of exercise), medications (corticosteroids or azathioprine), hyperadrenocortism (Cushing's disease), predisposition (some breeds are far more susceptible than others) or any condition which interferes with blood flow to the pancreas or the release of the enzymes produced by the pancreas - can lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatitis most often occurs in middle-aged or older, overweight dogs. Some of the indications of pancreatitis are: abdominal pain, vomiting, depression, some animals are restless, while others are reluctant to move, irritable, diarrhea, dehydration, lack of appetite, some animals simply don't appear to feel well. As you will notice from the variations of the symptoms, pancreatitis does not have a "set" pattern of appearance. Often time pancreatitis will occur when the dog has been given a "special meal" (very rich in fat) as part of a celebration. The sudden change in diet can overtax the digestive system.

What are the symptoms of pancreatitis? How is pancreatitis diagnosed? ... How is pancreatitis treated? What is pancreatitis? The pancreas is a small, hard-working organ that sits behind the lower part of your stomach. A center that manufactures digestive juices and enzymes (which break down food in the stomach so the body can absorb it) and hormones such as insulin, it usually goes about its business without causing any trouble. But if something damages the organ, it can become inflamed, often causing agonizing pain. This rare condition is called pancreatitis. For 80 percent of patients, the inflammation dies down within a few days, the pancreas heals completely, and pain is only a memory. The other 20 percent aren't nearly so lucky. In severe cases, the inflammation can spread to other organs such as the lungs and the kidneys, and patients can go into shock. Without quick, aggressive treatment, severe pancreatitis can be fatal. Rarely, does pancreatitis become a chronic problem such that the pancreas never completely heals, and pain keeps coming back. Most people with chronic pancreatitis are heavy drinkers.
