What is Pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes become activated while still in the pancreas, causing irritation and inflammation. This condition can be classified into two types:
Acute Pancreatitis: A sudden onset of inflammation, often accompanied by severe abdominal pain and other systemic symptoms.
Chronic Pancreatitis: A long-standing inflammation leading to progressive damage, scarring, and reduced pancreatic function over time.
Causes and Risk Factors for Pancreatitis
Several factors can contribute to the development of Pancreatitis, including:
Lifestyle Factors
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- High-fat diets leading to gallstones, a major cause of acute pancreatitis.
Medical Conditions
- Autoimmune diseases.
- High triglyceride levels.
- Pancreatic infections or trauma.
Genetic Predisposition
- Family history of pancreatic disorders.
Other Causes
- Smoking.
- Certain medications.
Symptoms of Pancreatitis
Recognizing the symptoms early can lead to timely diagnosis and better outcomes. Common symptoms include:
- Loss of appetite and general fatigue.
- Severe abdominal pain, often radiating to the back.
- Persistent nausea and vomiting.
- Digestive issues such as steatorrhea (fatty, foul-smelling stools).
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Elevated blood sugar levels or signs of diabetes.
Diagnosis of Pancreatitis
Diagnosing pancreatitis requires a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tools. At Padaav, we emphasize thorough assessments, which may include:
Blood Tests: Elevated pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase) are key markers.
Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT scans, MRCP, or ERCP to identify inflammation or structural damage.
Additional Tests: Blood sugar levels, liver function tests, and stool tests to assess the impact on digestion.
Conventional Management of Pancreatitis
Conventional treatment often includes:
- Hospitalization for acute cases to manage symptoms and complications.
- Intravenous fluids, pain management, and anti-inflammatory medications.
- Long-term pancreatic enzyme supplements and vitamins in chronic cases.
While these treatments manage symptoms, they may not address the root cause or offer sustainable relief.
