Pancreatitis is a disease that occurs when digestive enzymes are activated while they are still in the pancreas. This irritates the cells in the pancreas can result in inflammation. The pancreas is located behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. It produces enzymes that help in digestion and hormones that regulate the way the body processes sugar (glucose). Pancreatitis is generally divided into two types- acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis refers to a sudden inflammation in the pancreas which lasts for a short period. Some of the most common signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis could be:
- Abdominal pain
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Rapid pulse
- Nausea
Chronic pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis refers to long-lasting inflammation in the pancreas. Some of the major symptoms of chronic pancreatitis may include:
- Upper abdominal pain
- Unexpected weight loss
- Steatorrhea
Risk Factors
Various factors may increase the risk of developing pancreatitis. Some of the major risk factors include:
Cigarette smoking: On average, smokers are three times more likely to develop chronic pancreatitis as compared to non-smokers. However, giving up smoking may reduce this risk to half.
Excessive alcohol consumption: According to research, people who consume alcohol regularly are at higher risk of developing pancreatitis.
Obesity: Obese people are more likely to develop pancreatitis.
Family history: Genetics also play a major role and may be responsible for chronic pancreatitis in individuals. Thus, having a family history of pancreatitis may increase an individual’s chances of developing the condition.
Treatment of pancreatitis usually depends on the type and severity of the disease. Thus, one should consult only the best pancreas specialist in Delhi NCR to avail proper treatment and medication for the disease.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteTook Onglyza off and on for a year. I have an enlarged adrenal gland. Still I await the outcome of that CT, but I know that much. Will find out more.
I had the CT because of chronic pancreatic pain that started out as "attacks" from a couple of times a month to finally after 3 months of use without interruption, "attacks" 2-3 times a week. My PA put Onglyza on my allergies list.
In the meantime, I lost almost 50 lbs in 5 months due to illness. Loss of appetite, pancreatic pain, chronic diarrhea, then eventually, inability to move my bowels. Severe back pain from the pancreas, and severe chest pain sent me to the ER where I was worked up for cardiac pain. I was cardiac cleared, but told my amylase was very low.
Still seeking a diagnosis, but I lay the blame squarely on Onglyza. I'd had pancreatic issues in the past, and argued with the PA that prescribed it, she was calling me non-compliant, and I feared repercussion from my insurance company.
I even took an article about the dangers of Onglyza, particularly in patients with a history, and she made me feel foolish.
I wish I had listened to my instincts, I fear not only damage to my pancreas that is irreversible, but also severe damage to my left kidney, though I have bilateral kidney pain.
I was off all diabetes meds, and control sugars strictly low to no carb. I can barely eat anymore, I have severe anorexia.
I would warn anyone taking Onglyza to consider a change and try Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, and anyone considering taking it, to select a different avenue. I have been suffering severely for about 9 months, but the past 7 months have been good with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicine which I took for 4 weeks.

ReplyDeleteAn inflammation of the pancreas is known as Pancreatitis. The pancreas is an organ that produces digestive enzymes. Pancreatitis might start any day and continue for long period and it requires immediate medical attention. It is of two types- acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Although the treatment usually requires hospitalization, pancreatitis can be easily stabilized and the underlying cause can be treated thereafter.
