chronic pancreatitis parenchymal allocated among pancreatic diseases. This inflammation is one of the most common problems of the digestive system of the body.
A few words about inflammation
In humans, the pancreas functions as an external (produces pancreatic juice) and internal (produces hormones) secretion, participating in the regulation of fat metabolism, protein and carbohydrates. When glands begin to affect disadvantaged factors in its duct pressure rises, and the outflow of secretions in 12 duodenal ulcer is broken. This leads to premature activation of enzymes that digest food instead accepted for the very iron. Thus develops parenchymal pancreatitis is an inflammation of the glandular tissue (parenchyma) body. It leads to a change in the structure of the pancreas, which can not cope well with their tasks.
If no action is taken for treatment of pancreatitis, the disease becomes chronic, periodically reminding myself exacerbations and again for a while still. And she parenchyma is progressively replaced by scar tissue, which leads to dysfunction of the prostate. Also, the disease can cause a number of complications, the most serious of which is considered
pancreatic cancer gland.On the causes of pancreatic inflammation
Chronic pancreatitis does not come from nowhere. In many cases, the person himself becomes the culprit onset. Thus, the parenchyma is often inflamed in people who abuse alcohol, and heavy smokers. It harms the prostate and an unhealthy diet. The risk of developing pancreatitis is high in people snacking in a hurry and not always at the same time. And if the food while still oily, salty and peppered, poor in proteins and vitamins, then the probability that the pancreas inflamed, it has grown significantly.
Many people, from his youth watching their diet and do not have bad habits, too, can be irregularities in the activities of the gland.
They cause inflammation of the parenchyma of the following reasons:
- prolonged depression and stress;
- worm infestation;
- infectious diseases (influenza, hepatitis B and C, mumps (pig);
- vascular disease;
- long-term use of antibiotics;
- abdominal trauma.
Pancreatitis affect the appearance state of the abdominal organs, which are directly associated with the pancreas. For example, duodenal ulcer (ulcer or duodenitis) and gastric surgery, provoke inflammation parenchymal organ. And if human gallstone disease, in 90% of cases of pancreatitis should expect.
Some people with birth duct cancer of the exocrine and endocrine secretion can be narrowed over time the defect will affect the state of the organ. There is such a thing as hereditary pancreatitis. If your immediate family suffered from this disease, and it can disturb you.
How does the disease
In the period of acute human disease begin to disturb pains. But unlike acute pancreatitis in chronic they are not strong, but more aching, herpes character. Their localization depends on what part of the inflamed gland. If struck by the parenchyma of the head body, the pain will be given in the right upper quadrant and stomach. And if the body is inflamed or tail - the person will feel pain under the ribs on the left. Basically, pain occurs after 1 hour after meal.
Chronic pancreatitis may occur with dyspepsia. Since due to inflammation of the food is not digested properly, a man may be concerned about nausea or vomiting. Frequent symptoms - diarrhea or constipation. When inflammation of the exocrine insufficiency with feces becomes smelly.
In some cases, a person suffering from pancreatitis aggravation, lose weight.
This is influenced by undigested food. It can not be absorbed as it should, and the body is starving. Himself sick fears often have a lot of the pain that also affects his weight.
It happens that a man, in spite of the pain, I want to eat all the time, it thirsty. These are symptoms of another disease - diabetes. He is often the companion of pancreatitis, as in the period of inflammation in the body produces enough insulin due to lower property endocrine glands.
Noticing the signs at the data, you must, without delay, consult your doctor. He will study and put the correct diagnosis, prescribe effective treatment.
Diagnosis of prostate inflammation
Because some of the symptoms of pancreatitis coincide with signs of other diseases, to reveal the true disease only help diagnosis. Doctors in addition to examination of the patient and the story is carried out a number of studies. Among them blood tests, coprogram, laparoscopy, ultrasound and radiography.
Complete blood count reveals increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and biochemical - changes in glucose, lipase, amylase and other enzymes that are in the parenchyma. Thanks to X-ray and ultrasound the doctor may notice a change in breast size or shape. Laparoscopy indicates whether glandular organ tissue structure has changed.
An important analysis is the study of feces (coprogram). It reveals in the life of the products starch, neutral fat and muscle fibers, which suggests the presence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Data obtained after all the studies show the true picture of the state of the body and help the gastroenterologist to decide on further action.
Chronic parenchymal Biliary pancreatitis
Due to diagnosis can be identified and this kind of inflammation of the parenchyma, as chronic pancreatitis Biliary. The concept of "biliary" - a synonym for the word "gall". The disease develops in the pancreas when the body's bile ducts occurs defeat. The main reason for the appearance of this variety of pancreatitis is available to the human gallstones. There is a malfunction of the gallbladder due to stones available in it. When the pressure level in the ducts it becomes higher than the pressure in the flow adjacent the body bile thrown into the pancreas parenchyma and cause inflammation.
Another cause of chronic biliary pancreatitis is a disruption of the sphincter of Oddi, inside the duodenum. Sphincter regulates the flow of bile into the intestine and pancreatic juice. When this muscle is not functioning bile also gets inside the gland that threatens her pancreatitis. Symptoms are similar to the parenchymal inflammation.
This indigestion, weight loss, thirst, added biliary colic. In chronic pancreatitis parenchymal Biliary a person's life may be in danger, as the large stones can get stuck in the bile ducts and damage them. To the digestive system to work properly, doctors operate on the patient. Otherwise pancreatitis secondary this type may lead to deviations in the internal organs and death.
Treatment and prevention of inflammation of the prostate
If the disease has passed in the chronic form, get rid of it is almost impossible. The main challenge facing the doctor and the patient, is to extend the period of remission, as every aggravation of damages parenchyma.
In the period of acute patients for several days limit in food. They should drink plenty of mineral water and 1 times a day there are fresh boiled porridge. If a person bugged the pain, the doctor prescribes him or Spazmalgon Baralgin. To make up the body Pancreatic enzymes, Patients are advised to take or Pancreatin Festal. The exact dosage and type of medication may be prescribed only gastroenterologist. At a critical reduction in body weight person shown intravenous nutrition, which contains the fat emulsions and solutions of glucose, amino acids. If a person develops diabetes, the doctor prescribes him drugs to treat this disease.
In complex situations, in the absence of positive results of treatment is recommended for patients surgery. Depending on the flow of chronic pancreatitis, surgery is performed either by excision of the diseased parenchyma tissues or drainage of outputting duct.
In remission patients for life need to follow a strict diet. Overeating is prohibited, it is necessary to switch to split meals. From the diet should be to remove all the spicy, fried, salty and fatty. It is necessary to avoid legumes, sweet pastries, and intake of fruits and vegetables increased several times. Doctors advise to use mostly boiled food in the form of heat. Prerequisite prolong remission will be giving up bad habits.
Strictly following preventive measures in the dormant period, the ill can be sure that the chronic relapsing pancreatitis will bother him very rarely. At an exacerbation it is not necessary to delay the visit to the doctor, because of this continued health of the patient will depend.
