Overview
History
Symptoms
Patients with chronic pancreatitis usually present with:
- Persistent abdominal pain
- Steatorrhea resulting from malabsorption of the fats in food (typically very bad-smelling and equally hard on the patient)
- Severe nausea
- Weight loss
The patient may also complain about pain related to their food intake, especially those meals containing a high percentage of fats and protein.
