Featured statements

In chronic pancreatitis, the presentation again can be a little bit variable, but what we want to see is that it's a combination of both their clinical presentation as well as their imaging findings, and we see that there should be some abnormal imaging findings that go along with what you're seeing clinically, usually ductal irregularities, calcifications, or pancreatic gland atrophy.
Obviously if they're pancreatic exocrine insufficient and you put them on PET, they're bloating, their other GI symptoms may improve. A low fat diet is a healthier diet. Sometimes that is helpful with their symptoms as well, but there's no evidence that any of these interventions really prevent recurrent pancreatitis or pancreatic pain episodes.
Unfortunately, the data doesn't hold true to that. So there have been multiple trials that have looked at a number of interventions to try and see if we can prevent recurrent pancreatitis episodes or pancreas pain episodes, and unfortunately, low fat diet, PETs, antioxidants, and steroids have never been shown to prevent those episodes.
quote · Pancreatitis
In adults where you see predominantly alcohol as the cause of chronic pancreatitis, with up to 70% of patients with chronic pancreatitis being caused by alcohol, the main risk factors for our patient population were were genetic, and then the second most common risk factor was an obstructive process or an anatomic process.
quote · Pancreatitis
until you really understand the true phenotype of the patient and their genotype, you're not going to be able to identify which patients are going to be able to be enrolled into a trial
Patients can certainly have acute recurrent pancreatitis and not have the evidence of ductile changes or pancreatic atrophy or pancreatic function loss.
