Acute On Chronic Pancreatitis Questions and Answers



Resolved Question: What do you think is the worst human invention?

My answer would be alcoholic drink.Here are the reasons why.The maximum number of deaths in the world related to any one particular cause is due to the consumption of alcohol. Millions of people die every year only because of intake of alcohol. I need not go into the details of all the ill-effects of alcohol since most of them are commonly known. Below is a simple list of few of the alcohol related illnesses: a. Cirrhosis of Liver is the most well known alcohol associated disease. b. Others are Cancer of Oesophagus, Cancer of Head and Neck, Cancer of Liver (Hepatoma), Cancer of Bowel, etc. c. Oesophagitis, Gastritis, Pancreatitis and Hepatitis are linked with alcohol consumption. d. Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Coronary Artherosclerosis, Angina and Heart Attacks are linked with heavy alcohol intakes. e. Strokes, Apoplexy, Fits and different types of Paralysis are linked with alcohol intake. f. Peripheral Neuropathy, Cortical Atrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy are well-known syndromes caused by alcohol consumption. g. Wernicke – Korsakoff syndrome with amnesia of recent events, confabulations and retainment of memory to old events with different types of paralysis are mainly due to thiamine deficiency due to excessive alcohol intake. h. Beriberi and other deficiencies are not uncommon among alcoholics. Even Pellagra occurs in alcoholics. i. Delerium Tremens is a serious complication that may occur during recurrent infection of alcoholics or post operatively. It also occurs during abstention as a sign of withdrawal effect. It is quite serious and may cause death even if treated in well equipped centres. j. Numerous Endocrine Disorders have been associated with alcoholism ranging from Myxodema to Hyperthyroidism and Florid Cushing Syndrome. k. Hematological ill effects are long and variable. Folic acid deficiency, however, is the most common manifestation of alcoholic abuse resulting in Macrocytic Anemia. Zeive’s syndrome is a triad of Hemolytic Anemia, Jaundice and Hyperlipaedemia that follows alcoholic binges. l. Thrombocytopenia and other platelet abnormalities are not rare in alcoholics. m. The commonly used tablet metronidazole (flagyl) interacts badly with alcohol. n. Recurrent infection is very common among chronic alcoholics. The resistance to disease and the immunological defense system are compromised by alcohol intake. o. Chest infections are notorious in alcoholics. Pneumonia, Lung Abcess, Emphysema and Pulmonary Tuberculosis are all common in alcoholics. p. During acute alcoholic intoxication, the drunk person usually vomits, the cough reflexes which are protective are paralysed. The vomitus thus easily pass to the lung causing Pneumonia or Lung Abscess. Occasionally it may even cause suffocation and death. q. The ill effects of alcohol consumption on women deserves special mention. Females are more vulnerable to alcohol-related Cirrhosis than men. During pregnancy alcohol consumption has a severe detrimental effect on the foetus. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is being recognised more and more in the medical profession. r. Skin diseases are also related to alcohol indulgence. s. Eczema, Alopecia, Nail Dystrophy, Paronychia (infection around the nails) and Angular Stomatitis (inflammation of the angle of the mouth) are common diseases among alcoholics. more

Resolved Question: Could my brother's symptoms be chronic pancreatitis?

Long story short...my brother is an alcoholic. He is living with my husband and I temporarily so I'm seeing firsthand his actions and the consequences. To sum it up, I know my brother was hospitalized shortly with acute pancreatitis last year...and from what I can gather from docs, his liver functions tests have come back very high ever since. He was told to stop drinking but never did. Back then, he suffered from pain in his stomach and had chronic nausea and vomiting. Now, however, he is having chronic nausea and vomiting several times a week but says he feels absolutely NO pain. I have read that as pancreatitis progresses, the pain can actually subside. Anyone have experience with this as being true? He refuses to go to a doc..although this evening I told him he must if he wants to stay with us for the time we agreed upon. I think he is finally willing to go now but it wouldn't surprise me if he bailed on that plan and moved out. By the way, I have pleaded with him to stop drinking and get some help but his denial is unbelievable. He actually spends a day vomiting and then goes right back to drinking the following day and actually WONDERS why he continues to vomit. THAT is how deeply in denial this man has fallen. Please share your knowledge and experience if you have it (regarding the pancreatitis with no pain symptoms). My husband, ironically, is recovering from a similar path in his life (with drinking) but is doing great currently so I feel like I've been there already once and really don't enjoy seeing someone else in my life go down the same road. Thanks in advance! more

Resolved Question: Does this sound like Chronic Pancreatitis?

For the past week or so I have had a mild burning/pulling sensation on the left side of my abdomen right underneath my rib cage. The pain comes and goes and seems to wrap around to my back. It also feels like it's "full" on that side of my abdomen. A little history about me: Used to drink pretty heavily for 5-6 years. 32 years old/female No other symptoms of chronic pancreatitis Never had an acute attack of pancreatitis I think I'm mainly worried b/c of my previous acohol use. If it's not chronic pancreatitis, what do you think it could be? more

Resolved Question: Does this sound like Pancreatitis (again)?

4 1/2 months ago I was hospitalized with Acute Pancreatitis due to a gall stone blocking the Pancreatic duct. I was very sick and I had to stay in the ICU for a few days until the inflammation died down enough to perform a Gallbladder removal. Everything went great with the surgery. And I thought I was one of the "lucky" ones to have a Gallbladder removal without having the complications afterward. I heard so many horror stories of digestive problems, pain, diarrhea, etc. I've had none of that, except for one small problem. After eating anything that is even a little rich or fatty, I still have this dull gnawing feeling in the middle of my upper abdomen where I think my Pancreas is. It feels like a milder version of what I had before. I just don't understand why I would still be having problems with my Pancreas though? I don't drink alcohol on a regular basis (maybe once a year) and I think I am quite healthy otherwise. Does this sound like Chronic Pancreatitis? And where would it come from? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: SHould we make alcohol illegal?

With all of the problems that alcohol causes, isn't it time that we make it illegal again? How can we let this stay legal? Why should our society put up with a bunch of drunks? Look at all the problems that alcohol causes. Liver disease Elevated liver enzyme levels Fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis Pancreatic disease Acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis Cardiovascular disease Hypertension Cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, stroke Gastrointestinal problems Gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, diarrhea, peptic ulcer disease Esophageal varices, Mallory-Weiss tears Neurologic disorders Headaches, blackouts, peripheral neuropathy Alcohol withdrawal syndrome, seizures, Wernicke's encephalopathy, dementia, cerebral atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, cognitive deficits, impaired motor functioning Reproductive system disorders Fetal alcohol effects, fetal alcohol syndrome Sexual dysfunction, amenorrhea, anovulation, early menopause, spontaneous abortion Cancers Neoplasm of the liver, neoplasm of the head and neck, neoplasm of the pancreas, neoplasm of the esophagus Psychiatric comorbidities Depression, anxiety Affective disorders, anxiety disorders, antisocial personality Legal problems Traffic violations, driving while intoxicated, public intoxication Motor vehicle accidents, violent offenses, fires Employment problems Tardiness, sick days, inability to concentrate, decreased competence Accidents, injury, job loss, chronic unemployment Family problems Family conflict, erratic child discipline, neglect of responsibilities, social isolation Divorce, spouse abuse, child abuse or neglect, loss of child custody Effects on children Overresponsibility, acting out, withdrawal, inability to concentrate, school problems, social isolation Learning disorders, behavior problems, emotional disturbanceWe need to step up the War on Drugs to include alcohol. It has NO positive benefits on our society. NONE. It should be illegal. more

Resolved Question: Sick dog....need to inform breeder but can't find the breeder......what to do?

Okay so I got my poodle from a breeder when he was 9 weeks old Okay so she really wouldn't qualify as a breeder but this was before we knew what back yard Breeders and hobby breeders were. Anyways both vets said that his parents never should have been bred together. You see first issue he had was one of his testicles didn't want to drop....luckily it did before he was neutered. And the other issue is....right at a year of age he was diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis and now he is a year and a half and that has progressed into Chronic. Once again we were told his parents never should have been bred together. Well his illness has been costly but I don't care we will do whatever it takes to keep him happy and healthy. But should we continue to try to locate his "breeder" and let her know this and warn her against breeding those two dogs together again. We have tried to locate her but we don't remember her name all we know is the town he came from. I don't even know if she would listen if we did find her...we have been trying to track her down. (His sibling was stillborn so he was the only puppy of the litter) What should I do shoud I keep trying? Or just let it go at this point and hope she doesn't breed again.....(her dog almost died in the process so she said she may not breed again) What should I do? By the way the vet believes this is inherited because of his young age and the fact that we have kept him strictly on his dog food his whole life....(never any table scraps) Though poodles are prone to this What if we can't find the breeder.....I mean we've been looking for 6 months now. We don't have her info.....we didn't end up registering him because the breeder messed up the paperwork (we found that our after sending his registration forms in which had all her info) Should we keep trying....ADD: She just needs to know never to breed those two dogs together again....They contacted us (and we decided not to pursue it this was when he was a pup....they never sent the paperwork back....it was ckc continental kennel club) I will always get from a reputable breeder from now on now that I knowThis was just a lady who bred her two poodles out of her home......my mother in law found the dog for us in the local paper in her old town........we drove 4 hours to get him. He is our first dog... (Our other dog we adopted from a rescue) more

Resolved Question: Do you know what condition(s) match the following symptoms?

-abdominal pain on left and right side, right is pain under ribcage -heavy periods that last two days (for three months) -diarrhea -reoccurring vomiting -constant nausea, worse when standing or eating -swollen hands and feet, especially painful in hands -chronic fatigue -several episodes of acute pancreatitis -history of kidney stonesI know it's difficult to diagnose someone over the internet without a proper medical background, but I would value your opinion regardless...thanksthank you for your concern guys..but this question is for my mom, who has had these syptoms progress and not many doctors are willing to help her, so I'm open to anything. more

Resolved Question: What is the life expectancy of someone with chronic pancreatitis?

I have had pancreatitis 5 times in the last 3 years. I'm 30 years old and Dr.'s can't find the cause. The diagnosis is acute but based on what I have read it could be chronic or could be chronic very soon. I've had a stint placed in my pancreatic duct, my gallbladder removed and it still flares up. I'm now on a strict diet and taking digestive enzymes. Im just wondering if I can expect a normal life span or if I can plan on dying fairly young. Im really scared. more

Resolved Question: amylase and lipase can anyone tell me why they are rising?

my husband was discharged home from hoapital 2 weeks ago with amylase of 322 and lipase of 256. he has been diagnosed of chronic pancreatitis. his amylase levels keep rising it was 345, then 696 then fell to 465 now its 800. he has little pain in the stomach too. he is very scared of having another acute attack. can anyone help us? what is the best way to affront this? is there any remedy? or he should go back for intravaneous feeding? he really doesnot want to go back to hospital. he spent 3 months there already. and he is really frightened. has anyone such levels? he is on a low fat diet and eats barely nothing. so, what can be the cause of the rising amylase levelsthe pain is not acute but we are scared it might he might get it beacuse of the amylase levelshe is not drinking but has been smoking 6 to 10 cigarettes a day, he eats spicy foods too and sometimes oranges and lemonhe is not drinking but has been smoking 6 to 10 cigarettes a day, he eats spicy foods too and sometimes oranges and lemon more

Resolved Question: What if a drug is not listed to cause a problem until 'after market' reporting?

I got severe acute pancreatitis a couple of weeks ago, which often results in chronic pancreatitis when it is severe (mine was!), and do not fall under the categories of what causes it. I'm a moderate drinker, no family history, no trauma to the pancreas, no gallbladder problems. It does list some drugs as a cause, but not Lamictal, which I have been on for nearly a year, as well as recent use of Naproxin. A few weeks ago, my Lamictal was raised from 150m to 200m. A little research on the internet shows that Lamictal and Naproxin is listed as a potential side effect, although not made public or on their fact sheet, since reports of it being a potential side effect were not established until 'after marketing' (after FDA approval and marketed to the public) and the company says not enough data exists to establish causation, but has been reported in cases of pancreatitis. Is there a potential lawsuit here, since pancreatitus is potentially fatal, and causes lifelong possible complications (kidney failure ..., heart failure and damage to other organs) as well as permanent lifestyle changes (diet, no fat, no sodium, etc)? It often leads to other attacks that are very painful and disabling for several days to weeks, which is lifelong. It's listed as a potential side effect even on their own 'cached' website, as well as drugs.com, rx.com, etc.  more

Resolved Question: I have to write a medical report on a patient with pancreatitis for school.?

I have looked at examples of a medical report but I don't understand where to put these words. I'm not asking for an answer or for someone to write this for me but I am asking if anyone knows a website or something I can check out to help me! Thanks. Here is what the assignment asks for: Write a medical report describing the history, symptoms, and physical examination findings of a patient with pancreatitis. Make sure to include the following terms in your report. Acute Chronic Gallstones Furosemide Azathioprine CT Scan Stethoscope Amylase Lipase Prognosis Endoscopy Pseudocyst Cystic Fibrosis Hypercalcemia Hyperlipidemia Hypertriglyceridemia ERCP Insulin Diagnosis Pancreas divisum Thanks for any help!!  more

Resolved Question: acute pancreatitis and hookah use?

I had an attack of acute pancreatitis about 2-3 months ago, and I've so far recovered completely (can eat fast food again without feeling sick, no more nausea after eating, my appetite's back, no more minor pain in my stomach, etc) and I was just wondering if smoking hookah every now and then would trigger another attack? I know alcohol is really bad for pancreatitis so I've been sober ever since I got out of the hospital. On the internet, there are many articles stating that tobacco is unhealthy for CHRONIC pancreatitis, but nothing about its effects on acute pancreatitis. In an acute attack, the pancreas fully recovers over time, while in chronic, it doesn't. So the way I see it, if my pancreas if fully healed now, can't I smoke hookah occasionally? more

Resolved Question: My husband was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis after almost 3 years of chronic pain...?

He is not a drinker which is making it hard to understand the situation. He was finally hospitalized Dec 27th for the condition and released 2 days later with orders to be on a low fat diet. He is now expeirencing a lot of pain in his kidneys. This has been going on for a few weeks. I have contacted his physician many times and they say it is ok. I am now very concerned. The pancriatitis has been going on for so long, and the gall bladder has been removed 2 1/2 years ago. We have seen 4 different Dr's through this and I am not sure if it may be time to try another one. My husband is not wanting to seek medical help anymore because the financial burden has been very hard. We have already paid over 20k in out of pocket medical bills. It is now to the point I have had to lie to him and tell him they are not charging us anymore so he will go. Does anyone know if the kidney pain may be associated with his pancreas? more

Resolved Question: Could these be symptoms of acute or chronic pancreatitis?

I have been to three different doctors already and nobody has been able to help. I have had trouble with this pain now off and on for years, but lately, in the last month, it has been everyday. Whenever I eat, I get nauseated, sometimes I vommit, and I have a severe pain in my upper right quadrant; it's like a throbbing pain and the only way I can get even a slight relief is if I curl up into a fetal like position. No I don't want to be gross, but I also have green, oily, loose stools in the last 3 days too and I haven't ate anything green or closely resembling that color. The doctors have done blood tests and not found anything abnormal, but shouldn't they do an ultrasound or something? How does pancreatitis get diagnosed? more
