Introduzione
The pancreas is a long, flat gland that sits tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digestion and hormones that help regulate the way human body processes sugar (glucose). Pancreatitis is inflammation in the pancreas. Pancreatitis can occur as acute — meaning it appears suddenly and lasts for days, or as chronic, which is pancreatitis that occurs over many years. Mild cases of pancreatitis may go away without treatment, but severe cases can cause life-threatening complications.
Segni e sintomi
Signs and symptoms of pancreatitis may vary, depending on which type:
Acute pancreatitis
- Upper abdominal pain
- Abdominal pain that radiating to back
- Abdominal pain that feels worse after eating
- Febbre
- Rapid pulse
- Nausea
- Vomito
- Tenderness of abdomen
Chronic pancreatitis
- Upper abdominal pain
- Losing weight without trying
- Oily, smelly stools (steatorrhea)
Cause
Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes become activated while still in the pancreas, irritating the cells of pancreas and causing inflammation. With repeated bouts of acute pancreatitis, damage to the pancreas can occur and lead to chronic pancreatitis. Scar tissue may form in the pancreas, causing loss of function. A poorly functioning pancreas can cause digestion problems and diabetes.
Sometimes, a cause for pancreatitis is never found.
Conditions that can lead to pancreatitis include:
- Abdominal surgery
- Alcoholism
- Certain medications
- Cystic fibrosis
- Gallstones
- High calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), which may be caused by an overactive parathyroid gland (hyperparathyroidism)
- High triglyceride levels in the blood (hypertriglyceridemia)
- Infezione
- Injury to the abdomen
- Obesità
- Pancreatic cancer
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a procedure used to treat gallstones, also can lead to pancreatitis.
Risk factors
Excessive alcohol consumption
Cigarette smoking
Obesità
Family history of pancreatitis
Fisiopatologia
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease, which varies in severity from mild to severe. Factors determining the severity of pancreatitis are not known. It is generally believed that the earliest events in the evolution of acute pancreatitis lead to premature intra-acinar cell activation of digestive zymogens and that those enzymes, once activated cause acinar cell injury. Recent studies have suggested that the ultimate severity of resulting pancreatitis may be determined by events which occur subsequent to acinar cell injury. These include inflammatory cell recruitment and activation as well as the generation and release of cytokines and other chemical mediators of inflammation. Recently, we have undertaken studies to elucidate the role of various inflammatory agents in determining the severity of pancreatitis. Results from these ongoing studies indicate that substance P acting via neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors, chemokines interacting with CCR1 receptors and platelet activating factor play an important pro-inflammatory role in regulating the severity of pancreatitis and associated lung injury. On the other hand, complement factor 5a (C5a) acts as an anti-inflammatory agent during the development of pancreatitis.
Diagnosi
Blood tests to look for elevated levels of pancreatic enzymes
Faecal examination
Computerized tomography (CT) scan
Abdominal ultrasound
Endoscopy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Trattamenti
Fasting, followed by drinking clear liquids and eating bland foods. With time, slowly back to normal diet
Pain medications
Intravenous (IV) fluids
Depending on the cause of pancreatitis, treatment may include:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
Gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy).
Pancreas surgery
Treatment for alcohol dependence.
Additional treatments for chronic pancreatitis
Pain management.
Enzymes to improve digestion.
Changes in diet.
Prognosi
Acute pancreatitis show better prognosis than chronic. In the chronic form, episodes of pancreatitis tend to become more severe over time and the overall 10-year and 20-year survival rates are estimated to be about 70% and 45%, respectively.
Complicazioni
Pseudocyst
Infezione
Kidney failure
Problemi di respirazione
Diabete
Malnutrizione
Pancreatic cancer

Chikithsa
The treatment of Pancreatitis depends upon many factors like the age, constitution, physical & mental health of the patient and how severe is the inflammation. As all the three doshas are involved, it is important to know which dosha imbalance is the predominant and leading, to control it in the beginning. In most of the cases, pacifying pitta along with removing aama (undigested toxic metabolic wastes in the body) is the first line of treatment.
