Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

Postgraduate Medicine, 1972
Exocrine pancreatic secretion is controlled by neural and hormonal mechanisms. Pancreatic insufficiency can be caused (1) by diseases that interrupt this integrated process or destroy enzymes in th...

Chronic Pancreatitis and Exocrine Insufficiency

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2011
The evaluation, management, and follow-up of patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) can be simple, but it can also be complex, so having a good referral network of subspecialists experienced in this field is essential. Identifying the cause of CP requires a systematic review of the many potential causes when the cause is not obvious.

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency beyond pancreatitis

Indian Journal of Gastroenterology
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) occurs when the amount of digestive enzymes released from the pancreas in response to a meal is insufficient or the enzymes are prematurely inactivated, thus resulting in maldigestion. The chief reasons for PEI include loss of pancreatic parenchyma, obstruction of the main pancreatic duct, reduced stimulation and

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency in the Cat

Topics in Companion Animal Medicine, 2012
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a syndrome caused by an insufficient amount of pancreatic digestive enzymes in the small intestine. Clinical signs most commonly reported in cats with EPI are weight loss, loose and voluminous stools, steatorrhea, polyphagia, and in some cases a greasy soiling of the hair coat in the perianal region.

Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency

2010
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is critical in individuals with pancreatic insufficiency. Understanding the normal physiology of pancreatic enzyme secretion and how this is deranged leading to pancreatic steatorrhea is the focus of this chapter. Several areas are detailed including how to diagnose pancreatic steatorrhea, optimal timing and use of

Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency following Pancreatic Resection

Digestion, 1999
Major pancreatic resection can cause pancreatic enzyme insufficiency with fat malabsorption, resulting in symptoms of abdominal pain, steatorrhoea and weight loss which can be extremely debilitating. The most important factors influencing subsequent development of steatorrhoea are the extent and type of surgical resection and the underlying disease ...

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency treatment study

Veterinary Record, 2009
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a common condition in dogs, with early response to therapy being critical for positive outcomes ([Batchelor and others 2007][1]). Pancreatic enzyme supplementation is the key component of therapy in EPI. Numerous enzyme preparations exist for use in dogs,
