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

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1993
EPI in dogs represents a well-defined condition that can now be diagnosed simply by the analysis of a single serum sample for TLI. A low TLI concentration represents a highly sensitive and specific test for EPI and may also predict the development of disease before the onset of clinical signs.

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in dogs

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2003
Pancreatic acinar atrophy (PAA) is by far the most common cause for the maldigestion signs of canine exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). The ability to diagnose PAA in the subclinical phase before the development of total acinar atrophy and manifestation of clinical signs has offered new possibilities to study the pathogenesis of the disease ...

Diagnosis of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2015
The accurate diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) helps identify those in need of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. Conversely, ruling out EPI identifies those in which additional evaluation should be pursued to explain their symptoms.

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency following pancreatic resection

Pancreatology, 2015
Untreated pancreatic exocrine dysfunction is associated with poor quality of life and reduced survival, but is difficult to diagnose following pancreatic resection. Many factors including the extent of the surgery, the health of the residual pancreas and the type of reconstruction must be considered. Patients remain undertreated, and consequently there

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in pigeons

Avian Pathology, 2006
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a well-studied syndrome in domestic animals. EPI occurs when severe progressive loss of tubulo-acinar tissue from atrophy or inflammatory destruction results in insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes and clinical signs of malabsorption. However, the literature on EPI in birds is limited.

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

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,

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...
