Acute Pancreatitis Chronic Pancreatitis Pancreatitis in Children Points To Remember ... For More Information 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 derives 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" it. 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. Cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs of tissue, may also develop. And enzymes and toxins may enter the bloodstream, injuring the heart, lungs, and kidneys, or other organs. Acute Pancreatitis 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.

8. PROVET HEALTHCARE INFORMATION - Fat In Acute Pancreatitis ProVet pet healthcare article on high fat rations and their connection with acute pancreatitis. http://www.provet.co.uk/health/diseases/acutepancreatitiscu.htm

Back HIGH FAT RATIONS AND ACUTE PANCREATITIS First broadcast on www.provet.co.uk on March 7th 2000. This information is provided by Provet for educational purposes only. You should seek the advice of your veterinarian if your pet is ill as only he or she can correctly advise on the diagnosis and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for your pet. It has been known for many years that acute pancreatitis can be induced by a high dietary fat ration. A link to cholecystokinin has recently been confirmed. The precise mechanism that leads to the occurrence of acute pancreatitis in dogs has still to be fully elucidated. In one study dogs with liver disease fed a diet containing 77% fat on a dry matter basis developed acute pancreatitis , however in another study sled dogs fed 66% fat for a 9 week period did not develop acute pancreatitis. The amount of fat needed to induce acute pancreatitis far exceeds the amount that is present in commercial pet foods (8-25%), but fatty foods (eg meat offcuts) should probably be avoided in dogs Cholecystokinin is secreted in response to fat in food and one study has shown that cholecystokinin itself can induce pancreatitic oedema, acinar vacuolation and increased release of the pancreatic enzymes amylase and lipase. Trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) was also increased, as was the secretion of trypsin activation peptide (TAP). This study gives a partial explanation for the underlying mechanisms involved and also demonstrated that increased concentrations of urine TAP might be an early indicator for acute pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis And Alternative Solutions by Darleen Rudnick, Pet Nutritionist The pancreas is an elongated, tapered gland that is located behind the stomach. The exocrine area of the pancreas produces digestive juices and the endocrine area makes hormones, such as insulin, that regulates how the body stores and uses food. Specific Types of Pancreatitis are: Chronic Pancreatitis (inflammation) Chronic pancreatitis can be caused by hemochromatosis (a condition of excess iron in the blood), a poor diet and many other factors. Inflammation and fibrosis cause the destruction of functioning glandular tissue in the pancreas. This results in an inability to properly digest fat, caused by a lack of pancreatic enzymes. The production of insulin is also affected. Attacks may become more frequent as the condition progresses. As the pancreas becomes progressively more scarred, some pets may develop diabetes and/or inability to digest foods, especially fats. Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis can include, but are not limited to: Moderate to severe abdominal pain Nausea Fever Reduced mental acuteness Abdominal swelling Weight loss Fatty stools Acute Pancreatitis (inflammation) The chief causes of acute pancreatitis may be caused from an on-going or long-term viral infection, poor diet, stress and from certain medications. Symptoms of acute pancreatitis are similar to chronic pancreatitis.

PANCREATITIS IN THE CAT Most of us have heard of the pancreas but aren’t 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. Here’s why:

Vetinfo Canine Encyclopedia Feline Encyclopedia VetInfo Digest ... Your Turn Encyclopedia of Canine Veterinary Medical Information 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.

Pancreatitis Topics [General] Acute Pancreatitis Chronic Pancreatitis [General] Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas. Pancreatitis is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute pancreatitis refers to an acute inflammation that resolves both clinically and histologically. Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by histologic changes that persist even after the cause has been removed. The histologic changes in chronic pancreatitis are irreversible and tend to progress, resulting in serious loss of exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function and deterioration of pancreatic structure. However, possible discordance between clinical and histologic components may complicate classification; eg, alcoholic pancreatitis may initially present as acute clinically but may already be chronic histologically.

What is Pancreatitis? What are the Symptoms of Pancreatitis? What Should I Do If I Think I Have Pancreatitis? What is the Difference Between Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis? ... Glossary The pancreas is a gland that sits behind the stomach. Larger than your gallbladder, but smaller than the liver, the pancreas plays a key role in the digestive system. Its juices join bile from the liver and gallbladder to drain into the small intestine. Specifically, the pancreas: Secretes digestive juices (enzymes and a substance called sodium bicarbonate) into the small intestine The digestive substances split the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into digestible molecules. What is Pancreatitis Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. This condition usually begins at an acute stage, and in some cases, may become chronic after a severe and/or recurrent attack. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, the digestive enzymes attack the tissue that produces them. One of these enzymes, called trypsin, can cause tissue damage and bleeding, and can cause the pancreas blood cells and blood vessels to swell. With chronic pancreatitis, the pancreas may eventually stop producing the enzymes that are necessary for your body to digest and absorb nutrients. This is called exocrine failure and fat and protein are not digested or absorbed. When chronic pancreatitis is advanced, the pancreas can also lose its ability to make insulin; this is called endocrine failure.

Pancreatitis and Diabetes Background Causes Risk Factors ... References Background 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 means the pancreas is inflamed. The inflammation can become severe, and the digestive enzymes that are normally inactive can become active and the enzymes cause damage to the pancreas. This causes a cycle of increasing inflammation. 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. There are many differences in the causes and treatment of pancreatitis in dogs and cats Causes The exact cause of pancreatitis is unknown but may be due to: high fat, low protein diet
