Overview
History and Symptoms
- Presentation depends upon dysfunction in any one of the following:
- Biliary tract obstruction; presenting as jaundice
- Exocrine dysfunction; presenting as malabsorption
- Endocrine dysfunction; presenting as diabetes
Patients with chronic pancreatitis usually present with:
- Persistent abdominal pain with episodic flares may or may not be associated with food intake[1][2][3][4]. Typical features of pain are:
- Located in the epigastrium
- Radiating to the back
- May be associated with nausea and vomiting
- Usually worse 15-30min after meal
- Initially it occurs in discrete episodes but later on as the disease progresses, it changes to continuous-like pattern
- Steatorrhea resulting from malabsorption of the fats in food (greasy, loose, very bad smelling stools that are difficult to flush away).[5][6][7]
- Pancreatic diabetes[5][8][6]
- Nausea
- Weight loss
