What is Pancreas?

Your pancreas is in your upper abdomen, just under your stomach. When, your pancreas is inflamed, you’ll feel pain in your upper abdomen that can extend to your back.

Where is the pancreas located?

The pancreas is an organ in the upper abdomen (belly). It connects to the beginning of the small intestine (the duodenum). It contains the pancreatic duct (tube), which drains digestive enzymes (chemicals) into the small intestine (the duodenum).

What is the function of the pancreas?

Your pancreas has two primary functions. First, it makes digestive enzymes (chemicals) and releases them into the small intestine. These enzymes break down carbohydrates, proteins and fat from food. Your pancreas also produces several hormones and releases them into the blood. Amongst these hormones is insulin which regulates the amount of sugar in your blood (glucose). Insulin also helps provide energy now and stores some for later.

What is pancreatitis?

 

Pancreatitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the pancreas. When the pancreas is inflamed, the powerful digestive enzymes it makes can damage its tissue. The inflamed pancreas can cause release of inflammatory cells and toxins that may harm your lungs, kidneys and heart.

 

There are two forms of pancreatitis:
  • Acute pancreatitis – is a sudden and short bout of inflammation.
  • Chronic pancreatitis- which is ongoing inflammation.
 
 
Who gets pancreatitis and requires treatment for pancreatitis ?
  • Are male.
  • Have other people in your family who’ve had pancreatitis.
  • Have gallstones or have family members with gallstones.
  • Have obesity, high triglycerides (fat in the blood) or diabetes.

What causes pancreatitis?
  • Gallstones or heavy alcohol drinking are usually the cause of pancreatitis. Rarely, you can also get pancreatitis from:
  • Medications (many can irritate the pancreas).
  • High triglyceride levels (fat in the blood).
  • Abdominal injury.
  • Metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
What are the symptoms of acute pancreatitis?
  • Moderate to severe upper abdominal pain that may spread to your back.
  • Pain that comes on suddenly or builds up over a few days.
  • Pain that worsens when eating.
  • Swollen, tender abdomen.
  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Fever
What are the symptoms of chronic pancreatitis?
  • Constant, sometimes disabling pain that spreads to your back.
  • Unexplained weight loss.
  • Foamy diarrhoea with visible oil droplets (steatorrhea).
  • Diabetes (high blood sugar), if insulin-producing pancreas cells are damaged.
 
 
   Diagnosing acute and chronic pancreatitis
  • Measures the levels of two digestive enzymes (amylase and lipase)
  • High levels of these enzymes indicate acute pancreatitis.
  • An ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan) provides images of your pancreas, gall bladder and bile duct that can show abnormalities.

PANCREATITIS TREATMENT
 
How is pancreatitis treated?

If you have pancreatitis, your primary doctor will probably refer you to a specialist. A doctor who specializes in the digestive system (gastroenterologist) should oversee your care.

 
Doctors use one or more of these methods for acute pancreatitis treatment:
  • Hospitalization with supportive care and monitoring.
  • Pain medication to provide comfort.
  • Endoscopic procedure or surgery to remove a gallstone, other blockage or damaged part of the pancreas.
  • Supplemental pancreatic enzymes and insulin, if your pancreas isn’t functioning well.

Procedures used for pancreatitis treatment

 

Most pancreatitis complications like pancreatic pseudocyst (type of inflammatory cyst) or infected pancreas tissue are managed through endoscopic procedure (inserting a tube down your throat until it reaches your small intestine, which is next to your pancreas). Gallstones and pancreas stones are removed with an endoscopic procedure .If surgery is recommended, surgeons can often perform a laparoscopic procedure. This surgical technique involves smaller cuts that take less time to heal .During laparoscopic surgery, your surgeon inserts a laparoscope (an instrument with a tiny camera and light) into keyhole-sized cuts in your abdomen. The laparoscope sends images of your organs to a monitor to help guide the surgeon during the procedure.

PREVENTION

 

The best way to prevent pancreatitis  and to avoid pancreatitis treatment is to have a healthy lifestyle. Aim to:

  • Maintain a healthy weight.
  • Get regular exercise.
  • Stop smoking.
  • Avoid alcohol.

These healthy lifestyle choices will also help you avoid gallstones, which cause 40% of acute pancreatitis cases. Your doctor may recommend removing your gallbladder if you have painful gallstones multiple times.

OUTLOOK / PROGNOSIS

 

 

How long does pancreatitis last?

Typically, acute pancreatitis lasts only a few days. But if you have a more severe case, it may take several weeks to months to recover. Chronic pancreatitis requires lifelong management.

Will pancreatitis go away after pancreatitis treatment?

With pancreatitis treatment, most people with acute pancreatitis completely recover. Chronic pancreatitis is a long-lasting condition. Once it’s severely damaged, your pancreas doesn’t function properly. You need ongoing support to digest food and manage blood sugar.

 

Can pancreatitis return after pancreatitis treatment ?

With chronic pancreatitis, painful episodes can come and go or persist (last a long time).You can also have another attack of acute pancreatitis, especially if you haven’t resolved the underlying problem. For example, if you have another gallstone that blocks the opening to the pancreas, you can get acute pancreatitis again.

How should I take care of myself after having pancreatitis?

  • Eat a low-fat diet.
  • Stop drinking alcoholic beverages.
  • Quit smoking.
  • Follow your doctor’s and nutritionist’s dietary recommendations.
  • Take medications as prescribed.

 

 

                                                                            Conclusion

 

Pancreatitis is painful, but in the majority,  pancreatitis treatment coupled with lifestyle changes can help you make a full recovery and prevent further acute pancreatitis episodes. While chronic pancreatitis doesn’t go away, you can manage the symptoms and avoid complications with help from your doctor.
