Keywords: pancretitis; chronic pancreatic insufficiency; pancreatic enzyme therapy
Abstract
In most areas of the world alcohol is the main cause of chronic pancreatitis. Early diagnosis is often difficult and relies on appropriete clinical history and imaging. Stopping alcohol intake is essential to reduce attacks of pain, preserve pancreatic function, and aid management of complications. Patients often require opiate analgesics, and pain is best managed in a multidisciplinary setting. Surgery should be reserved for patients with intractable pain or with complications of chronic pancreatitis.
