Pancreatitis weight loss

Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis weight loss

pancreatitis

Avatar m tn Im wondering what causes that especially in pancreatitis? I loss alot of weight a year ago, was real sick with abnormal bruising and weakness, falling down, ect, this was before pancreas started acting up again, prior to that I had only one acute episode of pancreatitis. Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver.
Avatar n tn It sounds like your husband has at least pancreatitis based on CT, but it is unusual that the other blood work was normal. Usually pancreatitis presents with elevated amylase and/or lipase. Significant weight loss is concerning for cancer. Jaundice, dark urine, and light stools would also be concerning if present.
Avatar f tn In pancreatitis, nutrients the dog needs are passed out in the feces, thus probably the reason for the weight loss (and that is quite a bit). Has he been checked for diabetes? If the Vets your Vet has called can't come up with any other possible treatment, assuming the above is being done, I would suggest a call to a University Vet Hospital, if there is one in your area. Like the closest one to me is UC Davis in Sacramento.
229538 tn?1300377767 Hi all ! Can someone please tell me about pancreatitis and the mortality rate when your cat gets it ? My Kaci cat whom I just love so much is old (about 161/2 ) and I have been taking her to the Vet to get hydrated about every 4 days . She is not really eating well and I am really worried . Anything more that I can do for her ? Any suggestions would be appreciated so much ! Thank you ..
Avatar f tn I almost went to the emergency room due to my weight loss. My normal weight is 98 lbs and I was down to 88 lbs. I am getting an allergic reaction to almost all of the food I eat!
Avatar f tn We are going to have an EUS next, but he continues to have severe pain and continuing weight loss. He is down about 35 lbs in 4 months- even when he has a good week or two and he eats normally he doesn't put any weight back on. He is having some bowel issues, mainly constipation, as well as a lot of belching. Our GI doc said have EUS done and go from there, but I'm at a loss of what else it could be besides chronic pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn She has been struggling with loss of appetite (weight loss) and vomiting. I have been giving her daily Sub-Q fluids, Epikitin, Famotidine (10mg), and she is on an antibiotic for her UTI--for two days an appetite stimulant. Her blood was tested again 23 days later and her BUN 87, Creatinine 6.2, and Phosphorus 9.8 Her diet started out as Hills diet G/D (not K/D because of her pancreatitis). She has lost ~4.5 pounds since she was diagnosed.
Avatar n tn However, last year I began to develop symptoms of pain in the center and left quadrant of my upper abdomen, nausea, mild weight loss. I would feel sick if I ate and sick if I didn't. I cut back to a very limited diet of fresh cooked foods, mainly poultry and vegetables, fruit and flat breads. I have improved symptom-wise except when under stress. However, my Amylase continues to be elevated and I am concerned, as is my doctor, about chronic pancreatitis leading to pancreatic cancer.
Avatar m tn I'm having a pain, stomach cramps and diarrhea/loose stool problem myself. But also on the right and no swelling that I've seen. The doctor thought I might have a problem with my pancreas today with pressing and ordered blood testing and x-rays. I've had extreme pain in my stomach on eating in the past and was diagnosed with gastritis, advised to follow a clear liquid diet I think it was for 72 hours.
Avatar f tn In fact, very atypical since appetite excellent most of the time despite weight loss while on normal wet food ( refused to eat the Hills) in last few months. Hyperthyroidism ruled out. Owner noticed lethargy and bloodtests revealed falling HCT 18% and moderately low Albumin. Anaemia though not as low previosly had resolved when pancreatitis treated-likewise albumin. Elevated GGT also noted in bloodtest the same week. Renal levels, though still within range also elevated since last tests.
Avatar f tn I’ve also been having some weight loss. I had a CT scan and everything came back normal as well as an ultrasound. Bloodwork looks good except for that Lipase panel. Trying to get into see a gastrologist but because of the coronavirus and not able to. Any ideas what’s going on?
Avatar n tn s probably a good idea to follow up with your family doctor for a complete workup. Unless you have been experiencing significant weight loss, hair loss, or fatigue, I would not worry too much about cancer yet.
Avatar m tn approximately 20 pounds between August 6th and November 16th. Pain feels strongest 2-3 hours after eating. Pain feels somewhat less immediately after eating. Sometimes feel nauseous, usually when pain is most severe or sometimes after eating. On a few occasions, I was nauseous all day long. Sometimes taste acid, usually when nauseous. Mostly yellow stools (no diarrhea). Louder than normal digestive noises. Thanks for any suggestions.
Avatar n tn I had to put my 11 year old Llhasa apso to sleep yesterday because he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and was in so much pain that they could not guarantee that he would survive even with treatment. It came on suddenly...he was fine Saturday but began throwing up in the middle of the night and continued...he couldn't even hold down water and was very weak. I took him into the veterinary hospital on Sunday and he was too weak to come home.
Avatar m tn His constant meowing is driving me crazy.he lost weight whwhen really sick. He is still underweight but why does he demand food 24/7? I'm so stressed out I can't think straight. Upset too if his DX was wrong we spent so much $$ on labs/meds. Now I'm not sure/don't think he has it! Help.
Avatar n tn Ive read chronic pancreatitis might not show up in these imaging tests but the severe weight loss and pain are continuing. Please keep me updated on ure condition since it sounds quite similar to my dads.
Avatar m tn Opus88 and PikaPika88 ~ My kitty was just diagnosed with Kidney problems and from what I've read (and it's A LOT trust me lol) one of the main issues for them is keeping their weight up and keeping their appetite normal. So I've read that for these cats basically just let them eat as much as they will cause they have issues that normal healthy kittys don't have. Unless of course it's causing problems and then maybe your vet would advise you to cut back.
Avatar m tn m curious if I should be concerned about the symptoms I have been having since the reversal, especially the rapid weight loss? Has anyone else had a reversal and if so, how did it go?
Avatar f tn He is a very sensitive, nervous cat. His labs indicate that he does not have pancreatitis, and overall his lab work looks good. He had a full senior work up, as well as urinanalysis and the test for the pancreatitis (negative). He has been dehydrated, not eating well, nauseated and vomiting. Is the next step to do an ultrasound?
Avatar n tn are you having anyother symptoms such as weight loss, blood in your stool ect?
