Acute destructive pancreatitis, it is called necrotizing pancreatitis, characterized by the gradual dying off of cells in the pancreas. This occurs because of metabolic disorders in the body, resulting in iron digests itself. The prognosis for patients with this disease unfavorable: in an advanced stage, it often leads to death. Pancreatonecrosis dangerous by the fact that affects not only the pancreas but also other internal organs during its development.
The main manifestation of destructive pancreatitis - a sudden sharp pain in the left hypochondrium extending to the back area of the heart, shoulder. Pain syndrome is permanent, then calming down a little, then growing stronger again. Half of the patients say that the pain is so severe that it can not be tolerated.
Another essential symptom destructive pancreatitis is the appearance of vomiting which result becomes dehydrated. Thus the patient may ensue collapse state, i.e. a sharp drop in blood pressure and deterioration of blood supply to vital organs. This disease causes growth and elastase levels that leads to destruction of blood vessels and bleeding of internal organs. Because of this, on the belly and sides of the patient can appear bluish spots.
In medicine is divided into three forms of destructive pancreatitis:
- Toxemia. The emergence and accumulation of toxins in the blood of the patient.
- Abscess, which is formed both in the hardware and other abdominal organs.
- Purulent changes in breast tissue.
Factors causing the development of the disease, not so much. Two-thirds of cases of the disease are caused by alcohol abuse. Much rarer causes include the use of large amounts of fatty and fried foods, gallstones, severe viral and infectious diseases.
The successful treatment of the disease plays an important role early diagnosis, particularly attentive to the need to treat their health to the sick who have pancreatitis and others in their history pancreatic disease. The disease develops quickly and in a short time in the pancreas irreversible changes can occur.
idiopathic pancreatitis
The diagnosis of idiopathic pancreatitis Becoming a doctor is when you can not find out the causes of pathological changes in the tissues of the pancreas. Symptoms of this form of pancreatic inflammation are the same as in acute pancreatitis:
- acute or pulling pain localized in the upper abdomen;
- occurrence of retching, nausea, flatulence;
- diarrhea;
- weight loss.
The patient violated the metabolic processes, whereby it may be diabetes. Idiopathic pancreatitis is divided into several types: tropical, senile and juvenile. Tropical called pancreatitis occurring among residents of tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Inflammation of the pancreas in patients with middle and old age are called senile pancreatitis. This form of the disease is usually painless. Juvenile pancreatitis develops in adolescence (15-20 years), and is usually accompanied by severe pain.
pancreatolysis
Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis characterized by a very rapid destruction of the pancreas, its complete breakdown and death of the patient may occur during the day. Due to the turbulent activation of enzymes destroyed parenchyma (breast tissue), and blood vessels of the pancreas. This process leads to necrosis, hemorrhage and peritonitis. Strong pain and toxins poisoning the body - these are the main features of hemorrhagic pancreatitis.
Among the factors that provoke the development of this disease are inflammatory processes, which are accompanied by violation of the outflow of pancreatic juice cancer, autoimmune disorders in an organism intoxication with ethanol, reflux pancreatic juice gland ducts, DIC (impaired clotting blood).
The first symptom of hemorrhagic pancreatitis is severe pain in the abdomen, and later there is impaired renal function, a sharp drop in blood pressure, possible gastrointestinal bleeding, a sharp decrease in urine output (number of allocated urine). The prognosis for the patient in this disease is not too favorable, because of the sharp increase of pancreatic concentration enzymes occurs virtually self-digestion the pancreas of their own tissue, which eventually leads to lethal outcome.
edematous pancreatitis
Acute edematous pancreatitis - a disease that is characterized by swelling of the interstitial space and lobules of the pancreas. In addition to swelling, no destructive changes in the breast tissue itself is there. Typically, the disease is inflammation initial stage and has two development. Or passes spontaneously or turns in pancreatic necrosis. Treatment for this form of pancreatitis is usually conservative.
The prognosis for the patient in most cases favorable.
Causes edematous pancreatitis, like any other, are the external factors that have a negative effect on the pancreas. In the first place alcohol abuse. Further - drinking too fatty and fried foods, treatment with toxic drugs for a long time eating after long breaks, abrupt interruption of diet for weight loss, toxic poisoning substances. This form of the disease has a relatively favorable course and good prognosis for the patient, but only if treated early. Without the provision of adequate care to the patient's disease progresses rapidly and leads to irreversible consequences.
Symptoms of acute pancreatitis edematous form is not as pronounced as the others, and because of this, many patients do not just give them value. Pain and discomfort in the abdomen, vomiting, upset his chair, nausea - common symptoms edematous pancreatitis, but it also happens that the only symptom of pancreatic inflammation is pain syndrome. Since the swelling extends to all parts of the gland, pain is usually localized in the upper abdomen. Increased frequency of nausea and vomiting in a patient indicates a worsening of the patient's condition and progression of the disease.
pancreatic disease difficult to treat, so it is better to try to prevent than to cure. To do this, you must limit the consumption of alcoholic beverages, heavy carbohydrate foods (sweets, confectionery), greasy, spicy, salty foods, carbonated beverages. Proper nutrition can help to extend the pancreas health.
