Extractions: Sonographic images show pancreatic head enlargement at 5.4 cm ( arrow ), splenic vein edema along the body of the pancreas ( arrow ), and retroperitoneal fluid within the anterior pararenal space ( arrow ). Normal flow was detected in the splenic vein with color doppler and echogenicity of the pancreas was normal. Acute pancreatitis The normal pancreas measures approximately 3 cm at the head, 2 cm at the body, and 1 cm at the tail. In acute pancreatitis, the gland may be enlarged and have decreased echogenicity secondary to edema. In most cases of acute pancreatitis, however, the ultrasound examination is entirely normal. Splenic vein edema has been described as a secondary finding of acute pancreatitis. In chronic pancreatitis, the pancreas is decreased in size secondary to fibrosis, and the echogenicity is increased owing to fatty infiltration. Dystrophic calcifications and ductal dilatation are also hallmarks of chronic pancreatitis. 1. Jeffrey RB, Laing FC, Wing, VW.

Extractions: Single transverse image shows that pancreatic echogenicity is within normal limits, but the gland is mildly enlarged. In addition, a complex fluid collection ( arrow ) lies anterior to the pancreas, and abnormal sonolucency ( arrow ) surrounds the splenic vein. Acute pancreatitis These sonographic findings are due to complications of acute pancreatitis with fluid in the lesser sac and perivascular inflammation surrounding the splenic vein. These vascular changes frequently extend into the superior mesenteric and/or portal veins. Because venous thrombosis may be a sequellae of acute pancreatitis, careful follow-up examinations (with color Doppler) should be done to look for this potential complication. Interestingly, as in this case, some patients with acute pancreatitis show more inflammatory changes outside of the gland than within the substance of the pancreas.

http://www.utopiasilver.com/testimonials/pancreatitis.htm

Extractions: Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum. The duodenum is the upper part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine through a tube called the pancreatic duct. These enzymes help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food. The pancreas also releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body use the glucose it derives from food for energy. Normally, digestive enzymes do not become active until they reach the small intestine, where they begin digesting food. But if these enzymes become active inside the pancreas, they start "digesting" it.

Like acute pancreatitis it is also inflammation of the pancreas. There are however a number of differences between them Top How do ACUTE and CHRONIC Pancreatitis differ? Chronic pancreatitis is different to acute pancreatitis . In acute pancreatitis the episodes of inflammation are usually short and reversible. In chronic pancreatitis there is a mild (usually) continuous inflammation. This inflammation can lead to permanent damage of the pancreas Top What happens if my pancreas becomes damaged? Damage to the pancreas can lead to trouble in the breakdown and digestion of food. If the inflammation worsens, then control of blood glucose can also be lost.

The pancreas is a soft, elongated gland situated at the back of the upper abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is divided into the head (through which the common bile duct runs as it enters the duodenum) and the body (which extends across the spine and the tail), which is close to the left kidney and to the spleen. Because the pancreas lies at the back of the abdominal cavity, diseases of the pancreas may be difficult to diagnose.

http://www.seleccionesveterinarias.com/articulos/art8_6.htm

Extractions: Desde el primer modelo animal experimental realizado por Bernard en 1856, gran parte de la bibliografía veterinaria concerniente a la pancreatitis aguda (PA) tradicionalmente estuvo basada en los resultados de numerosos procedimientos de investigación (en una variedad de especies), que a menudo inducían pancreatitis en extremo graves y rápidamente fatales. De este modo, la extrapolación automática de tales datos (junto a las habituales comparaciones con el ser humano) fue dando origen a una serie de mitos sobre sintomatología y patología clínica, que no permitieron el reconocimiento de las inflamaciones pancreáticas leves y moderadas, tal vez más corrientes en la clínica diaria. Sin lugar a dudas, la ultrasonografía, al facilitar el reconocimiento de la patología pancreática, contribuyó en mucho a modificar los conceptos y criterios sobre la PA vigentes en la actualidad. Dentro de este contexto de modificación conceptual, también es justo destacar la información que ha derivado de experimentos (con bases nutricionales) más coincidentes con la enfermedad espontánea. Debido a su extensión, el presente trabajo se ha dividido en tres partes incluyendo: revisión bibliográfica orientada hacia la clínica (Parte I), casuística basada en nuestra experiencia con la identificación sonográfica de la enfermedad (Parte II) y finalmente, opciones terapéuticas y factores pronósticos (Parte III). Dado que la pancreatitis felina posee características particulares, que la diferencian en mucho de la canina, la misma se describe en un artículo por separado.

Extractions: pancreatitis home page acute pancreatitis chronic pancreatitis Acute pancreatitis is a condition that develops when the pancreas is damaged by an inflammation that leads to swelling and sometimes to necrosis (death) of parts of the pancreas. In about 85% of patients, acute pancreatitis is a mild disease and is associated with a rapid recovery within a few days of onset of the illness. In about 15-20% of patients, acute pancreatitis can lead to severe damage of the pancreas associated with the development of pancreatic necrosis (parts of the pancreas becomes dead). Development of pancreatic necrosis often lead to a severe illness associated with an extended hospital stay, multiple surgical procedures and occasionally death in some patients. Patients with severe acute pancreatitis are at risk for developing the following complications: Failure of multiple body organ systems such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidney Pancreatic necrosis (parts of the pancreas becomes dead) Infected pancreatic necrosis (infection of the dead pancreas) Pancreatic abscess Pseudocysts Pancreatic fistula Damage to surrounding organs such as small bowel, colon and duodenum by the inflammation

Extractions: Facility Information DeWitt Comm Hosp Genesis Medical Ctr Illini Hospital Genesis Health Grp VNA 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). 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

It is always better to err on the side of caution. The pancreas is a vital organ which is located in the right side of the abdomen. It has two functions: 1) to produce enzymes which help in digestion of food and, 2) to produce hormones, such as insulin. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, the disorder is called pancreatitis. It is a disease process that is seen commonly in the dog and occasionally in the cat. There is no age, sex, or breed predisposition. There are two main forms of acute (sudden onset) pancreatitis: 1) the mild, edematous form and, 2) the more severe, hemorrhagic form. A few cats that recover from an acute episode of pancreatitis may continue to have recurrent bouts of the acute disease. This is termed the chronic form. The associated inflammation allows digestive enzymes to spill into the abdominal cavity; this may result in secondary damage to surrounding organs, such as the liver, bile ducts, gall bladder, and intestines.
