Extractions: PANCREATITIS IN THE CAT Most of us have heard of the pancreas but arent really sure what it is. The pancreas is a pale pink glandular organ nestled just under the stomach. It has two main functions: the production of metabolic hormones (insulin and glucagon which regulate blood sugar) and the production of digestive enzymes, which are secreted through a special duct into the intestine to digest our food. In the cat, the pancreatic duct frequently joins with the common bile duct from the liver. In this way both bile (a fluid used to excrete toxins as well as to prepare fat for absorption into our bodies) and pancreatic fluid which is rich in digestive enzymes enter the intestine from the same location. There are other hormonal products from the pancreas that assist in the regulation of digestion and movement of our food but the above description should present a basic picture of what the pancreas is there to do. Pancreatitis is potentially a metabolic disaster. Heres why:

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Download this Patient Note in PDF format VOL 112 / NO 6 / DECEMBER 2002 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE You have severe pain low in your stomach, feel feverish, and are vomiting. Your doctor tells you that you have pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas that occurs in about 80,000 people each year in the United States. What is pancreatitis? The pancreas is a gland behind the stomach that produces hormones (such as insulin) and enzymeschemicals that help you digest the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food. Pancreatitis occurs when the enzymes amylase (ah-meh-lace) and lipase (lie-pace), which usually start to work when they are released into the small intestine, become trapped in the pancreas. This happens when the duct, or channel, by which enzymes leave the pancreas is blocked. These enzymes become active and attack the pancreas itself, damaging it in the process. Pancreatitis is classified as either acute or chronic. As the name implies, acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly. Most cases eventually go away with no lasting effects, although serious complications sometimes develop. Chronic pancreatitis may occur after a single attack of acute pancreatitis or after several attacks. It does not go away entirely and causes lasting damage to the pancreas that may worsen over time. This damage may limit the ability of the pancreas to make amylase and lipase as well as insulin, which also helps the body use food. Persons with this form of pancreatitis usually lose weight and are at increased risk for pancreatic cancer and diabetes.

Extractions: 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?

What to Expect at Your Provider's Office ... Supporting Research Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, a glandular organ that produces several enzymes to aid in the digestion of food, as well as the hormone insulin, which controls the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen, behind the stomach; a duct connects it to the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Pancreatic enzymes and bile produced by the liver enter the duodenum at the same location. Pancreatitis may be either acute (sudden and severe) or chronic. Both acute and chronic pancreatitis can cause bleeding and tissue death in or around the pancreas. In a single episode of acute pancreatitis, the gland usually heals without causing functional or structural changes, but in the case of recurring pancreatitis, long-term damage is common. In chronic pancreatitis, smoldering attacks result in a slow deterioration of the structure of the pancreas and loss of pancreatic function. Necrotizing pancreatitis (which involves death of pancreatic tissue) can lead to cyst-like pockets and abscesses. Because of the location of the pancreas, inflammation spreads easily. In severe cases, fluid containing toxins and enzymes leaks from the pancreas through the lining of the abdomen. This can damage blood vessels and lead to internal bleeding, which may be life threatening.

http://www.mscc.ca/pancreatitis.html

Extractions: Many pets are diagnosed as having pancreatitis. The information on this page is provided by to help you learn about the disease and how to care for your pet at home. Pancreatic disorders occur frequently in the dog and cat. The pancreas is a gland in the abdomen that produces enzymes which aid in the digestion of food. It also produces some hormones such as insulin which are secreted into the blood. If, because of injury or disease, these digestive enzymes become activated within the pancreas before they are released, they will begin digesting the pancreas itself. This self-digestion causes severe inflammation called Pancreatitis which is associated with pain and tenderness of the abdomen. Pancreatitis is usually classified as either acute (occurs suddenly) or chronic (an ongoing condition). The signs of pancreatitis usually occur suddenly in dogs and cats. You ll need to be aware of the signs so you can get treatment for your pet as soon as possible. A pet with pancreatitis will exhibit some or all of the following signs: lack of appetite, frequent vomiting and diarrhea which may contain blood. A pet may also drink more water than usual and vomit it soon after consumption. Weakness, inability to walk and abdominal tenderness or pain may be present. Body temperature will vary in pets with pancreatitis, but usually the temperature will be higher than normal at the onset of the disease and then fall to below normal as the condition continues. The eyes may become sunken, and the mouth and eyes may become very dry, indicating dehydration. These signs are not unique to pancreatitis; therefore your veterinarian may recommend tests to differentiate pancreatitis from other diseases.

http://www.pethealthcare.net/html/body_canine_pancreatitis.html

Extractions: There are two main forms of acute (sudden onset) pancreatitis: 1) the mild, edematous form and, 2) the more severe, hemorrhagic form. A few dogs that recover from an acute episode of pancreatitis may continue to have recurrent bouts of the acute disease, known as chronic, relapsing pancreatitis. 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. Under normal conditions, digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas are activated when they reach the small intestines. In pancreatitis, these enzymes are activated prematurely in the pancreas instead of in the small intestines. This results in digestion of the pancreas itself. The clinical signs of pancreatitis are often variable, and the intensity of the disease will depend on the quantity of enzymes that are prematurely activated.

Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 59/No. 9 (May 1, 1999) 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

Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 62/No. 1 (July 1, 2000) -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.
