-'''Chronic [[pancreatitis]]''' is a long-standing [[inflammation]] of the [[pancreas]] that alters its normal structure and functions. It can present as episodes of acute [[inflammation]] in a previously injured [[pancreas]], or as chronic damage with persistent pain or malabsorption.
+{{CMG}}, {{AE}}: {{IQ}}
-==Causes==
+{{SK}} Pancreatitis, chronic;
-At least 70% of adult cases are caused by chronic alcohol use, and most patients have consumed more than 150 g/day of alcohol over six to twelve years.<ref>{{cite journal |journal=Am Fam Physician |date=2007 |volume=76 |issue=11 |pages=1679–88 |title= Chronic pancreatitis |author= Nair RJ, Lawler L, Miller MR |pmid=18092710 |url=http://www.aafp.org/afp/20071201/1679.html}}</ref> Gallstone-associated pancreatitis is predominantly acute or relapsing-acute in nature, and some cases of chronic pancreatitis are of undetermined or [[idiopathic]] origin. A few are inherited or secondary to Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD).  Other less frequent causes include chronic steroid and or [[anti-inflammatory]] use. In up to one quarter of cases, no cause can be found. Autoimmune pancreatitis is increasingly recognized and may be associated with raised IgG4 levels, other autoimmune features and bile duct involvement.
+==[[Chronic pancreatitis overview|Overview]]==
-[[Cystic fibrosis]] is the most common cause of chronic pancreatitis in children. In other parts of the world, severe [[protein-energy malnutrition]] is a common cause.
+==[[Chronic pancreatitis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-==Symptoms==
+==[[Chronic pancreatitis classification|Classification]]==
-Patients with chronic pancreatitis usually present with persistent [[abdominal pain]] or [[steatorrhea]] resulting from malabsorption of the fats in food (typically very bad-smelling and equally hard on the patient), as well as severe [[nausea]]. Diabetes is a common complication due to the chronic pancreatic damage and may require treatment with insulin. Some patients with chronic pancreatitis often look very sick, while others don't appear to be unhealthy at all.
-Considerable [[weight loss]], due to malabsorption, is evident in a high percentage of patients, and can continue to be a health problem as the condition progresses. The patient may also complain about pain related to their food intake, especially those meals containing a high percentage of fats and protein.

 ==Diagnosis==
-The diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis is typically based on tests on pancreatic structure and function, as direct biopsy of the pancreas is considered excessively risky. Serum [[amylase]] and [[lipase]] may well not be elevated in cases of advanced chronic pancreatitis, but are often used as markers for detecting pancreatic inflammation in acute pancreatitis. A '''[[secretin]] stimulation test''' is considered the gold standard functional test for diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. The observation that bi-carbonate production is impaired early in chronic pancreatitis has led to the rationale of use of this test in early stages of disease ([[sensitivity]] of 95%). Other common tests used to determine chronic pancreatitis are faecal elastase measurement in stool, serum trypsinogen, Computed tomography (CT) scans, [[medical ultrasonography|ultrasounds]], EUS, [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI's]], [[ERCP]] and [[Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography|MRCP's]]. Pancreatic [[calcification]] can often be seen on plain abdominal X-rays, as well as CT scans.

-There are other non-specific laboratory studies useful in diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase can be elevated, indicating stricturing  of the common bile duct due to edema, fibrosis or cancer.  When the chronic pancreatitis is due to an autoimmune process, elevations in [[ESR]], IgG4, [[rheumatoid factor]], [[Anti-nuclear antibody|ANA]] and antismooth muscle antibody may be seen.  The common symptom of chronic pancreatits, [[steatorrhea]], can be diagnosed by two different studies: Sudden staining of feces or fecal fat excretion over 24hr on a 100g fat diet.  To check for pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, the most sensitive and specific test is the measurement of fecal elastase, which can be done with a single stool sample, and a value of less than 200 ug/g indicates pancreatic insufficiency.<ref name=UpTo>{{cite web |author=Freedman SD |url=http://www.uptodate.com/patients/content/topic.do?topicKey=~EzkfCtNwumVrg |title=Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in adults |format= |work=UpToDate  |accessdate=}}</ref>[[abdominal pain]].
