Patients with chronic pancreatitis are at risk of malnutrition and nutrient deficiency due to malabsorption, pain, poor diet. We sought examine fat-soluble vitamin levels parameters in patients pancreatitis.In a prospective controlled cohort study, 128 subjects (62 66 age-/sex-matched controls) were recruited. Body mass index (BMI), handgrip strength (measure functional capacity), fat stores (triceps skin fold), muscle (mid-arm circumference), exocrine function, serum vitamins (A, D, E)...
INTRODUCTION: Because of deteriorating exocrine function, malabsorption renders chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients at risk osteoporosis and fracture. However, the pathogenesis low bone mineral density (BMD) has not been characterized. We hypothesized that turnover is elevated in CP, we sought to investigate an association between metabolism systemic inflammation. METHODS: Twenty-nine CP twenty-nine matched controls were recruited. Bone-turnover markers procollagen 1 amino-terminal propeptide...
Objectives Patients with chronic pancreatitis may be at an increased risk of low bone density because malabsorption vitamin D and calcium, poor diet, pain, alcoholism, smoking. We investigated the rates osteoporosis in patients compared to matched controls. Methods The study was cross sectional design. Sixty-two (mean age, 47.9 years; 72.6% male) 66 controls were recruited. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, smoking, socioeconomic data recorded. Results Thirty-four percent had 10.2% T-scores...
Abstract There exists no cure for acute, recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis and treatments to date have been focused on managing symptoms. A recent workshop held by the National Institute of Diabetes Digestive Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) interventions that might disrupt perhaps even reverse natural course this heterogenous disease, aiming identify knowledge gaps research opportunities inform future funding initiatives NIDDK. The breadth variety identified active planned clinical trials...
Endocrine insufficiency following severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) leads to diabetes of the exocrine pancreas, (type 3c mellitus), however it is not known how this metabolic phenotype differs from that type 2 diabetes, or two subtypes can be differentiated. We sought determine prevalence SAP, and analyse behaviour glucose pancreatic hormones across a 2-h oral tolerance test (OGTT). Twenty-six patients SAP (mean (range) duration first episode study time 119.3 (14.8–208.9) months) along with 26...
