- Start date
The main clinical syndrome of chronic pancreatitis is abdominal pain. This type of pain is typically located in the upper abdomen and can range from mild to severe. It may worsen after eating, and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Other symptoms include weight loss, oily stools, and jaundice. In some cases, chronic pancreatitis can lead to diabetes, as the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is typically diagnosed through imaging tests such as CT scans or ultrasounds. Treatment usually involves lifestyle changes to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as medications to manage symptoms. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to remove parts of the pancreas.
