Pancreatitis
What is pancreatitis? pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. The symptomsof acute pancreatitis usually begins with severe pain in the upper abdomen.

Extractions: What is Pancreatitis? Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas . The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach. It secretes insulin, which is of fundamental importance in the handling of glucose. If the pancreas is not functioning properly, diabetes may develop. Another function of the pancreas is to secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine through a tube called the pancreatic duct. These enzymes help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food. In pancreatitis, the enzymes that help digest fats, proteins and carbohydrates in food become active inside the pancreas and start digesting the pancreas. Symptoms? The symptoms of acute pancreatitis usually begins with severe pain in the upper abdomen. The pain may last for a few days. Some of the other symptoms are: swollen and tender abdomen, sweating, nausea, vomiting, fever , mild jaundice, and rapid pulse.

Extractions: Email To A Friend Home Digestive Diseases A-Z List of Topics and Titles : Pancreatitis On this page: Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum. The duodenum is the upper part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine through a tube called the pancreatic duct. These enzymes help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food. The pancreas also releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body use the glucose it takes from food for energy. Normally, digestive enzymes do not become active until they reach the small intestine, where they begin digesting food. But if these enzymes become active inside the pancreas, they start "digesting" the pancreas itself. Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and lasts for a short period of time and usually resolves. Chronic pancreatitis does not resolve itself and results in a slow destruction of the pancreas. Either form can cause serious complications. In severe cases, bleeding, tissue damage, and infection may occur. Pseudocysts, accumulations of fluid and tissue debris, may also develop. And enzymes and toxins may enter the bloodstream, injuring the heart, lungs, and kidneys, or other organs. Some people have more than one attack and recover completely after each, but acute pancreatitis can be a severe, life-threatening illness with many complications. About 80,000 cases occur in the United States each year; some 20 percent of them are severe. Acute pancreatitis occurs more often in men than women.

http://www.vetinfo.com/dencyclopedia/depancrea.html

Extractions: Pancreatitis One of the functions of the pancreas is production of digestive enzymes. These are the enzymes that break down ingested foods into molecules the body can digest. These enzymes are carefully handled by the pancreas in order to prevent them from damaging the pancreas itself or surrounding tissue. When these self-protective mechanisms break down for any reason, the result is leakage of enyzmes which damage the pancreas and any surrounding tissue they reach. This breakdown is called pancreatitis. There are a number of things which can initiate or facilitate enzyme leakage, so pancreatitis can occur for a number or reasons. Often, it takes a combination of precipitating factors to cause pancreatitis to occur in a dog or cat. High fat diets, obesity and lack of exercise are the most common "life-style" contributors. Miniature schnauzers are predisposed to pancreatitis due to a tendency to have high levels of lipoproteins in their blood streams. Corticosteroids and azathioprine medications may contribute to the tendency to develop pancreatitis. Hyperadrenocorticism, a naturally occurring overproduction of corticosteriods that is fairly common in dogs may also lead to an increased susceptibility to pancreatitis. Anything that interferes with blood supply to the pancreas or release of digestive enzymes by the pancreas may lead to pancreatitis. For some reason, pancreatitis does not occur, or is not recognized, as often in cats as it does in dogs.

Extractions: The pancreas is a small organ located in the abdomen. In addition to being part of the endocrine system and producing the hormones insulin and glucagon, it produces digestive enzymes that are necessary for the proper digestion of food. This aspect of the pancreatic function is called the exocrine pancreas. The digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas are normally inactive until they are secreted into the small intestine. Once in the intestine, the enzymes become active and aid in the digestion of food. Pancreatitis can be acute - meaning the inflammation occurs suddenly, or chronic - where the inflammation is slow and gradually occurs over a long period of time. Acute pancreatitis causes little or no permanent damage to the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis is rare in cats. Chronic pancreatitis can result in scar tissue forming in the pancreas, which in turn decreases the ability of the pancreas to function properly.

Extractions: by Dr. Jennifer McKinnis, DVM The major function of the pancreas is to secrete enzymes that aid in the digestion of foods as well as enzymes that aid in the absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, it is termed pancreatitis. Some factors believing to be involved in the development of pancreatitis are the following: Typically, the animal affected will be overweight with a history of ingesting a fatty meal. An animal with pancreatitis may exhibit signs such as vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, shock or even death. To diagnose pancreatitis, a thorough workup is necessary since the clinical signs are vague. Bloodwork is needed as well as a urinalysis and in some cases abdominal x-rays or ultrasound. Pancreatitis, when diagnosed, should be treated aggressively since it can be potentially fatal.

Extractions: What is pancreatitis? The pancreas is an organ that sits just beneath the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. It is responsible for producing enzymes that aid in digestion and is also the source of insulin production. Pancreatitis refers to an inflammation of this organ. It can happen to dogs and cats of any age, breed or sex. If severe, pancreatitis can lead to irreversible changes in the pancreas and impaired function long term. The cause of pancreatitis in dogs and cats is not very well understood. There are a few things that we know can predispose to the development of pancreatitis such as fatty diets, certain drugs, underlying diseases, parasites and trauma however, there is also some research that indicates there are genetic factors at play as well. What are the signs of pancreatitis? Dogs with pancreatitis may be depressed, lose their appetite, have vomiting or diarrhea. They may also exhibit pain in the abdomen this may be manifested as restlessness, panting or unwillingness to lie down. Cats can be a little more vague with signs ranging from poor appetite and fever to an elevated heart rate. Unlike dogs, they are less likely to have abdominal pain and vomiting. Pancreatitis is often divided into acute or chronic cases. Acute cases are usually more severe and may be associated with more dramatic signs. Chronic pancreatitis, which is more common in cats, may have more subtle symptoms and may often be associated with or mistaken for other illnesses.

Extractions: Pancreatitis Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. As part of the functioning of the pancreas, digestive enzymes are produced and secreted. A normally functioning pancreas maintains the production of these enzymes at appropriate levels. The imbalance of enzyme production results in the leakage of enzymes, which damages the pancreas and nearby tissues. The damaged pancreatic tissue becomes inflamed, resulting in pancreatitis. Initiating causes of enzyme imbalance can be numerous and multiple. High fat diets, "life-style" (obese with lack of exercise), medications (corticosteroids or azathioprine), hyperadrenocortism (Cushing's disease), predisposition (some breeds are far more susceptible than others) or any condition which interferes with blood flow to the pancreas or the release of the enzymes produced by the pancreas - can lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatitis most often occurs in middle-aged or older, overweight dogs. Some of the indications of pancreatitis are: abdominal pain, vomiting, depression, some animals are restless, while others are reluctant to move, irritable, diarrhea, dehydration, lack of appetite, some animals simply don't appear to feel well. As you will notice from the variations of the symptoms, pancreatitis does not have a "set" pattern of appearance. Often time pancreatitis will occur when the dog has been given a "special meal" (very rich in fat) as part of a celebration. The sudden change in diet can overtax the digestive system.

http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_pancreatitis__feline_.html

Extractions: PANCREATITIS IN THE CAT Most of us have heard of the pancreas but arent really sure what it is. The pancreas is a pale pink glandular organ nestled just under the stomach. It has two main functions: the production of metabolic hormones (insulin and glucagon which regulate blood sugar) and the production of digestive enzymes, which are secreted through a special duct into the intestine to digest our food. In the cat, the pancreatic duct frequently joins with the common bile duct from the liver. In this way both bile (a fluid used to excrete toxins as well as to prepare fat for absorption into our bodies) and pancreatic fluid which is rich in digestive enzymes enter the intestine from the same location. There are other hormonal products from the pancreas that assist in the regulation of digestion and movement of our food but the above description should present a basic picture of what the pancreas is there to do. Pancreatitis is potentially a metabolic disaster. Heres why:
