Pancreatitis Dr Rob Hicks Pancreatitis is when the pancreas becomes inflamed. It's extremely painful and is usually accompanied by vomiting. Apart from powerful painkilling drugs the only other thing that sometimes brings relief is sitting forwards. In this article What does the pancreas do? What causes it? How is it treated? What does the pancreas do? The pancreas is a special gland that helps with digestion and keeps a close eye on blood sugar levels. It's attached to the duodenum (the part of the gut just below the stomach) and lies crosswise behind the stomach. It's a thin gland about 15cm (6in) long and is often described as being two glands in one since it performs two vital functions: It secretes many enzymes that play a key role in digestion. These include lipase, which helps to digest fat, and amylase that helps to digest starchy foods. It also releases 'bicarbonate of soda' to neutralise any stomach acid that may otherwise damage the lining of the gut. The control of blood sugar levels is regulated by the hormones insulin and glucagon. These are both manufactured and secreted from the pancreas. When necessary insulin lowers the level of glucose in the blood, and glucagon raises it.

The pancreas abruptly becomes inflamed and then gets better. Some people have more than one attack but recover fully after each one. The cause of acute pancreatitis is most often alcohol abuse or gallstones. Other causes include use of prescribed drugs, trauma or surgery to the abdomen, or abnormalities of the pancreas or intestine. In rare cases, the disease may result from infections, such as mumps. In about 1 case in 6 or 7, the cause is unknown. Symptoms usually begin with pain in the upper abdomen that may last for a few days, is often severe, and may be constant, just in the abdomen, or it may reach to the back and other areas. The pain may be sudden and intense, or it may begin as a mild pain that is aggravated by eating and slowly grows worse. The abdomen may be swollen and very tender. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, and an increased pulse rate. One often feels and looks very sick. In about 20% of cases, the disease is severe. The patient may become dehydrated and have their heart, lungs, or kidneys fail. In the most severe cases, bleeding can occur in the pancreas, leading to shock and sometimes death.

Feline Pancreatitis Jörg Steiner Germany Introduction Etiology and Pathogenesis It is believed that all pancreatitis is caused by a common pathophysiologic pathway. Pancreatic acinar cells respond to any number of different insults by a decreased secretion of pancreatic enzymes, co-localization of zymogen granules and lysosomes, premature activation of trypsin, and subsequently of other digestive zymogens.(5) These activated digestive enzymes cause local effects, such as inflammation, hemorrhage, acinar cell necrosis, and peripancreatic fat necrosis. Digestive enzymes released into the blood stream may cause systemic effects, including systemic inflammatory changes, systemic vasodilatation leading to hypotension, pulmonary edema, disseminated intravascular coagulation, central neurologic deficits, respiratory failure, renal failure, and multiorgan failure. However, over the last decade there has been convincing evidence that at least in part systemic effects and progression of pancreatitis are due to release of cytokines.(6) Several diseases and risk factors have been associated with feline pancreatitis.(7,8) Traumatic pancreatitis (hit by cars or high-rise syndrome) has been reported.(7,9) Surgical trauma can cause pancreatitis but many human patients that undergo surgery of organs distant from the pancreas have been shown to be at an increased risk for pancreatitis suggesting that hypoperfusion of the exocrine pancreas during anesthesia may be of bigger importance than surgical handling of the organ itself. Infectious agents have been shown to cause feline pancreatitis, with the strongest causal relationship for

Clinical Practice Guidelines UK guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis In 1998 the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) published UK guidelines on the management of acute pancreatitis. A planned revision after two years was anticipated. The BSG as the prime sponsor of these guidelines initiated a review process in 2000. These guidelines are part of a series sponsored by the BSG, and a policy decision was taken in that organisation to modify the format of the guidelines, to enable the dissemination of summary documents listing the main conclusions, recommendations, and audit standards, with a subsidiary document reviewing the evidence in detail. The present document uses this new format; in addition it focuses on developments since 1998. Although some revisions are necessary, the main evidence base was well reviewed previously, and remains valuable.

110. Pancreatitis pancreatitis most often occurs in middleaged or older, overweight dogs. Some of the indications of pancreatitis are abdominal pain, vomiting, depression, 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.

Home About Mayo Clinic Jobs Contact Us Mayo Clinic Locations: Arizona Florida Minnesota Mayo Clinic ... Medical Services Pancreatitis Pancreatitis Treatment Appointments Clinical Trials Medical Services Treatment of Pancreatitis at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Pancreatitis is a painful inflammation of the pancreas. The pain appears in the abdomen and often feels like it goes through the body and into the back. This uncomfortable irritation of the pancreas can be chronic or acute, and most cases are mild to moderate. But in about 20 percent of cases, the symptoms are severe, requiring immediate medical attention to avoid potential complications. Acute Pancreatitis Acute pancreatitis comes on suddenly. The main symptom is mild to severe abdominal pain. You may also have nausea and vomiting and run a high fever. If your symptoms are severe, hospitalization is usually required. Treatment includes pain control and restoring a normal balance of pancreatic juices. You won't be able to eat or drink for several days and will receive nutrition and fluids intravenously. Generally, you can expect to stay in the hospital for a few days. Most people usually feel better in about one week after a mild case of acute pancreatitis or in two to three weeks after a severe attack. After all signs of acute pancreatitis are gone, your Mayo Clinic physician will determine the cause of the attack and work with you to prevent future ones. Additional tests may be ordered if the cause of the attack is unclear. If gallstones brought on the attack, your doctor may order a procedure to have the stones removed. If alcohol was the cause, treatment may include therapy to stop drinking.

Home Medical Dictionary Contact Us About Us ... Pancreatitis - Chronic Pancreatitis - Chronic The pancreas is positioned behind the stomach. It produces enzymes to digest food. When these enzymes attack the pancreas instead, inflammation occurs. Acute pancreatitis is sudden, severe inflammation. Chronic pancreatitis is ongoing. It may be milder. However, it causes stomach pain, food intolerance and nausea. Over time, this disease harms the pancreas, making it hard to produce digestive enzymes and hormones. That can lead to chronic diarrhea, malnutrition and diabetes. Diagnosis The clearest sign is pain. It can be severe at times. It often seems to go away over time. A doctor will check for signs of jaundice, weakness, severe weight loss and diarrhea or foul-smelling stools. You should be tested for chronic pancreatitis if you have a family history of pancreatitis, a history of alcohol abuse or several bouts of severe abdominal pain. The doctor will use one or more of the following: Blood tests to check the levels pancreatic enzymes, which tend to be high during an attack. Computed tomography (CT or "cat") scans or ultrasound, both of which can show inflammation and any scarring in soft tissues.

Index Illustration Chronic Pancreatitis What is chronic pancreatitis? Chronic pancreatitis is an ongoing or repeated inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach. It produces digestive enzymes and insulin. The digestive enzymes flow into the small intestine to help break down food. Insulin is released into the blood to control the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic. Acute pancreatitis occurs as one sudden episode. After acute pancreatitis the pancreas usually returns to its normal condition. Chronic pancreatitis means ongoing or repeated bouts of pancreatitis in which there is permanent damage to the pancreas. The damaged pancreas gradually becomes unable to produce normal digestive enzymes and insulin. How does it occur?
