Diffuse changes of pancreatic lipomatosis type. What is it, forecast, diet, treatment of folk remedies

Diffuse changes pancreas represent a pathology which relates to the type of fatty degeneration (lipomatosis). This pathology, which occurs as a result of the replacement of healthy cells in the fat tissue.

In this state, in the human body tissues occurs focal proliferation of fat cells, which arises from metabolic disorders. These cells are not able to perform the necessary functions.

There are 3 forms of lipomatosis:

• diffuse;
• knotted;
• diffusely-knotted.

The disease may not manifest itself for several years, evolving slowly in the body, which ultimately lead to the functioning of the pancreas problems. In some cases, necessary to carry out a surgical operation to remove it.

What causes lipomatosis

Pathology can be caused by:

• genetic predisposition;
• hormonal disorders;
• chronic illness;
• previously transferred acute or chronic pancreatitis;
• overweight.

The main reasons that provoke the growth of pathological tissues, replacing healthy cells are:

• diabetes;

  

• inflammatory processes arising directly in the pancreas;
• various injuries;
• bad habits;
• untimely and inappropriate medication.

All the above features are not direct preconditions for the manifestation of pathology. This is only indirect components, which can help to identify the disease, but do not guarantee its availability.

How it manifests itself - Symptoms

Lipomatosis of the pancreas formed by the type of the replacement of healthy tissue in the fat, but the first while there is no any diffuse changes that could signal the presence of disease. This phase can last a few years or several decades.

The only technique that will help you recognize diffuse changes - ultrasound. But while the body tissue will not occupy more than 30% of the total body mass, the entire period, and so will be asymptomatic.

When the 30% threshold is overcome, the symptoms of the disease begin to appear gradually:

1. In the analysis of blood glucose levels will significantly exceed the norm. With further progression lipomatosis there is a risk of developing diabetes.

2. Indigestion, is accompanied by symptoms such as:

• frequent abdominal pain;
• frequent stools, and a change in its consistency;
• flatulence;
• nausea;
• fat inclusions in the feces.

3. If the accumulation of fat cells are concentrated in one place, the doctor can diagnose pancreatic lipoma. It develops slowly, so the spread to other organs occurs. Tumor when a large amount can compress blood vessels and ducts of the pancreas. Symptoms in this case are nausea and increased flatulence.

The first stage lipomatosis

In step 1 in the patient do not have any symptoms because fatty tissue is less than 30% of the total weight of the pancreas.

A person can have a lifetime 1 stage lipomatosis, without even knowing about the presence of the disease.

Characteristic second step lipomatosis

In step 2 lipomatosis adipose tissue weight reaches 30-60% of the total body mass, i.e. It struck almost half of the healthy tissue.

The first symptoms of diffuse changes of the pancreas, which are similar to the type of such features as:

• poisoning;
• stomach upset;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

The third stage lipomatosis - particularly

In step 3 the fat tissue weight is 60% of the total body mass. The patient's condition deteriorates significantly, violations occur throughout the body. An important role is played by the distribution of adipose tissue - they are concentrated in one place, or distributed throughout the body. After the survey is likely that a specialist will diagnose the presence of tumor.

To which the doctor ask

Depending on the stage of the disease can refer to the following physicians:

1. Physician. The specialist can detect the disease at an early stage due to the general analysis, and after the US. He will prescribe a course of treatment and medicines, which will contribute to a speedy recovery. If it is found later stage of disease, the physician will send a further inspection to a narrower specialist.
2. Gastroenterologist. The main specialist in case of problems with the pancreas. It can analyze what part of the gland is damaged due to the MRI and ultrasound.
3. Endocrinologist. To it must be handled in case of problems with the body's absorption of sugar and carbohydrates.
4. Surgeon. In step 3 diseases need urgent hospitalization, followed by treatment in stationary conditions. High probability of surgery to remove fat accumulations formed.

Diagnostics

Most often lipomatosis does not cause discomfort to the patient and found by chance in the survey. But it is worth considering that the sooner will diagnose pathology, the treatment will be more productively. The most effective method of detecting the disease is considered an ultrasound.

During the ultrasound recorded an increase in pancreas, which often indicates progression lipomatosis. Ultrasound can also detect changes in the tissues of the pancreas. In the presence of fat inclusions can be confirmed by means of ultrasonic signals and determine where the affected areas are located.

surgical method

Surgery is the treatment of lipomatosis - a complicated process, as there is a risk of damage to healthy areas. Should resort to it only in case of complaints of the patient to the disruptions of the pancreas.

If more than 60% of prostate substituted by fat cells, and thus they compress the gland ducts, that requires surgical intervention.

Non-functioning parts of the gland, substituted by fatty tissue are removed, resulting in a positive dynamic. But if there is the possibility of treating other methods, ie without surgery, you should make every effort to avoid surgery.
