Chronic pancreatitis

There are many types of common diseases, and good methods are needed to treat them. However, when treating diseases, you should also be careful not to choose some treatment methods at will. This will not help improve the patient's physical illness. So how to treat chronic pancreatitis? Many people do not understand this. Before treating chronic pancreatitis, you also need to have a good understanding of it.

Many people are not very clear about the cause of chronic pancreatitis. When treating such a disease, it is also necessary to have a good understanding of its cause so that when treating it, you will know what method is best to choose.

Causes of chronic pancreatitis:

1. Obstructive factors

It is more common in Europe, Asia and my country. The most common cause of obstruction is gallstones. The causes of obstruction of the ampulla of Vater include: gallstones passing through or being stuck in the ampulla of Vater, biliary ascariasis, edema of the duodenal papilla, spasm of the ampulla sphincter, stenosis of the ampulla, etc.; obstruction of the common bile-pancreatic pathway causes bile reflux into the pancreatic duct, causing bile-induced pancreatic parenchymal damage. Simple pancreatic duct obstruction is sufficient to cause pancreatic damage.

2. Excessive drinking

Excessive alcohol consumption is the leading cause of acute pancreatitis in urban America. This situation is not uncommon in our country. Excessive drinking is closely related to the incidence of acute pancreatitis.

3. Overeating

In particular, overeating high-protein, high-fat foods and drinking alcohol can stimulate excessive secretion of pancreatic juice. When accompanied by partial obstruction of the pancreatic duct, acute pancreatitis may occur.

4. Hyperlipidemia

It is also a cause of acute pancreatitis: hyperlipidemia can be secondary to nephritis, castration and the use of exogenous estrogen, as well as hereditary hyperlipidemia (type I, type V).

5. Hypercalcemia

It often occurs in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Calcium can induce the activation of trypsinogen and cause the pancreas to destroy itself; high calcium can produce pancreatic duct stones and cause pancreatic duct obstruction; high calcium can also stimulate increased pancreatic juice secretion. It is absorbed into the blood through the peritoneum, causing an increase in blood amylase and lipase; a large amount of pancreatic enzymes entering the blood can cause damage to organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and brain, causing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the causes of chronic pancreatitis. When treating this type of disease, we also need to pay attention to the above issues, so that the treatment of the disease can proceed smoothly and the disease can be well controlled. Medication is the best way to treat this type of disease, which can greatly improve this type of disease.
