    Extractions: a Simple FactSheet from the A IDS T reatment D ata N etwork Pancreatitis: The pancreas is a small organ located just behind the stomach. The pancreas produces insulin which helps the body process sugars in your body. Pancreatitis is when the pancreas becomes inflamed or damaged. Symptoms: Symptoms of pancreatitis include nausea, vomiting and a persistent (sometimes severe) pain in the stomach area that may go right through to your back. Drugs responsible: The most common cause of pancreatitis is the NRTI drug didanosine (ddI, Videx) . Less commonly, pancreatitis can also be a side effect of stavudine (d4T, Zerit) lamivudine (3TC, Epivir) has been associated with the development of pancreatitis in children. Risk of experiencing this side effect: intravenous pentamidine Diagnosis: Monitoring for pancreatitis involves blood tests to measure the levels of substances called amylase and lipase. Increased levels of amylase and lipase can warn of damage to the pancreas before symptoms appear. Your doctor can then confirm if there is damage by doing additional tests. Treatment: NRTI drugs should be stopped if pancreatitis is suspected. There is no specific treatment for pancreatitis, but hospitalization and supportive care may be needed in serious cases. If damage to the pancreas is permanent (a condition called chronic pancreatitis), changes in diet may be needed to prevent pancreatitis from happening again. Doctors recommend that Videx be permanently stopped if a diagnosis of pancreatitis is confirmed. Restarting Zerit after a case of pancreatitis should be done with caution.

    Extractions: The pancreas is located posterior to the abdomen. It contains cells that secrete the hormone insulin, and cells that secrete digestive enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food in the gastrointestinal tract. The pancreas secretes these enzymes into the pancreatic duct, which joins the common bile duct from the liver and drains into the small intestine. Review Date: 07/18/01 Inflammation of the pancreas, or pancreatitis, is a serious condition that is most commonly caused by either alcohol toxicity or gallstones. Gallstones can lodge in the common bile duct and block the flow of pancreatic enzymes out of the pancreas into the intestine. Pancreatitis due to alcohol toxicity is most often seen in chronic alcoholic patients. Most often, pancreatitis goes away with nonsurgical therapy. The patient will not be allowed to eat for three to five days, to prevent secretion of enzymes by the pancreas. He will also receive pain medication to control the pain caused by pancreatic inflammation. Review Date: 07/18/01

    Extractions: Recurrent abdominal pain since childhood or infancy, lasting two to seven days possibly precipitated by meals. Attacks can occur every few weeks to every few years. Pain starts epigastric, but later involves the entire abdomen and radiates to the back. Severity and frequency of attacks improves with age. Etiology/Pathophysiology: First described in 1952, autosomal dominant gene with incomplete penetrance. Males and females equally affected with all reported cases in caucasians. Etiology is unknown, but many patients have congenital malformations of the ductal system or sphincter of Oddi. It has been linked with hyperthyroidism, hyperlipoproteinemia, and aminoaciduria. Grossly, the pancreas resembles that seen in cystic fibrosis: induration, ductal dilation, fibrosis, preservation of islet cells. Pathology:

Call your vet and describe your cat's symptoms with any of your concerns about the cat's well-being. Your veterinarian may discover changes in your cat's health that you have overlooked. 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

    Extractions: Patient Information CHRONIC PANCREATITIS SURGERY In general, pancreatitis is a disease in which the pancreas becomes swollen and inflamed, and does not work properly. The enzymes which the pancreas normally produces to help digestion in the intestine can attack the pancreas itself. The two common types of pancreatitis are acute and chronic. Chronic pancreatitis is different from acute pancreatitis. The inflammation and damage develop more slowly, and can become increasingly bad over time. The pancreas becomes scarred and loses its ability to make enough digestive enzymes and insulin. Thickening of the pancreatic juices may result in clogging of the ducts and from pancreatic stones (so called pancreatic calcification). These and damage to the ducts themselves (strictures) can result in aggravation of the pancreatitis due to obstruction. Causes and risk factors Most cases of chronic pancreatitis are associated with longstanding heavy use of alcohol. However, chronic pancreatitis can also result from obstruction to the pancreatic ducts (by tumor or anatomical variation), and in other diseases such as cystic fibrosis, hemochromatosis (too much iron in the body). In familial pancreatitis, the problem occurs in many members of the family, and may start to cause attacks in childhood. A similar form of chronic pancreatitis occurs in tropical countries, often associated with severe malnutrition.

    Extractions: Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Endocrine System Pancreatitis simply means inflammation of the pancreas. Located in the upper part of the abdomen, behind the stomach, the pancreas plays an important role in digestion. The pancreas is a gland, producing 2 main types of substances: digestive juices and digestive hormones. Digestive hormones, mainly insulin and glucagon, are released into the bloodstream. They control the body's blood sugar, a major source of energy. Inflammation of the pancreas has various causes. Once the gland becomes inflamed, the condition can progress to swelling of the gland and surrounding blood vessels, bleeding, infection, and damage to the gland. There, digestive juices become trapped and start "digesting" the pancreas itself. If this damage persists, the gland may not be able to carry out its normal functions. Pancreatitis may be acute (new, short-term) or chronic (ongoing, long-term). Either type can be very severe, even life threatening. Either type can have serious

    Extractions: Pancreatitis Many thousands of American suffer from either acute and/or chronic Pancreatitis each year. This is a serious disease that often results in death. Pancreatitis can occur independent of Pancreatic carcinoma. Pancreatic cancer is particularly nasty being inevitably fatal and extremely painful until the last days when nerve endings are largely destroyed by tumor and inflammation. Chronic Pancreatitis can also be lethal particularly when pseudocysts or infection is present. The Pancreas is a vital organ that loops around the GI tract from below the naval to underneath the solar plexus. It provides both an endocrine function (insulin) necessary to the maintenance of normal blood sugar and an exocrine function (digestive enzymes) necessary to absorb the nutrients from food. Pancreatitis can interfere in the production of these key enzymes and hormones. The Pancreas can become inflamed from overuse of alcohol, "sludge" or stones in the gall bladder, autoimmune attack, or congenital defect. Once inflamed the Pancreas can become blocked, develop pseudocysts, and even become infected. The pain associated with pancreatic inflammation is intense. Dehydration, shock, and hyperglycemia may occur. Inflammation caused by excessive pancreatic enzymes can also occur in joints, the lining of the heart (endocarditis) and other vulnerable areas. Prompt and proper diagnosis is necessary as a wide range of disorders generates abdominal pain. Usually, a battery of blood tests is conducted to look at pancreatic enzymes. A CAT scan can reveal the degree of inflammation and give important clues as to the status of pancreatic tissue including the presence or absence of pseudocysts, ascites, or tumor. An ECT can reveal information about the pancreatic ductwork, identifying abnormalities and blockages.
