Department Of Pancreas Disease
What is the Pancreas?
The pancreas is a vital organ located deep in the upper abdomen, just behind the stomach and above the level of the umbilicus. It has both digestive and hormonal functions that are essential for day-to-day health.
The pancreas:
- Produces digestive enzymes that help break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates
- Releases hormones like insulin and glucagon that control blood sugar levels
- Plays a key role in maintaining proper digestion and metabolic balance
Common Diseases of the Pancreas That Require Treatment
- Chronic Pancreatitis
- Pancreatic Injury
- Pancreatic Cancer
- Acute Pancreatitis
- Periampullary Cancer
Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is a long-standing inflammation of the pancreas that gradually damages the gland. Over time, normal pancreatic tissue is replaced by scar (fibrotic) tissue, leading to permanent loss of function.
Common consequences include severe or recurrent abdominal pain, diabetes mellitus and poor digestion with malabsorption and weight loss.
Typical stages of chronic pancreatitis:
I) Latent or subclinical stage – mild or no symptoms; early structural changes
II) Early stage – episodes of inflammation and pain; beginning of complications
III) Late stage – significant pancreatic insufficiency with malabsorption and diabetes
IV) Advanced stage – secondary, often painless pancreatitis with marked loss of function
