Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and protein

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Hi Tony! I've been voraciously reading your group's postings/answers. My dog was perfectly fine with SLIGHT high BUN (35-38). I put her on the NF diet in an effort to keep the kidney disease at bay, and suddenly her pancreatitis went crazy! She got very ill and didn't want to eat. I tried to put her back on her old food to get her back to normal, but it was too late. She's been hospitalized for four days. Her BUN/Creat "stabilized" at 116/6.7.
Avatar f tn FIP is a possibility but I would be more interested in looking at causes of a low serum protein. Low protein causes a buildup of fluid in the abdomen and is often associated with a condition called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Protein could be lost via the intestine (protein losing enteropathy) or in the urine (protein losing nephropathy).
Avatar f tn Hello Everyone, My Wiz had a dental/extraction and ultrasound today. The us showed significant kidney changes… as well as an enlarged or hardened pancreatic node I think. We are putting him on a bp med and maybe some chinese herbs eventually. One of his kidney values was very mildly elevated so I wanted to do the ultrasound and he has had vomiting on and off… it seemed to be hairball related, I treated that and it seems to help and sometimes food related.
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 m tn 0 High Everything else if fine in the panel and in my Urinanalysis. I am wondering if I can get any advice on this. I had acute Pancreatitis and I have elevated Triglycerides.
Avatar f tn If there is enough kidney tissue remaining, then you should be able to treat the acute kidney failure enough for it not to be a big problem. Resolving the pancreatitis issue is therefore an additional and major challenge worthy of you and your vet's attention. Diet is probably going to be the biggest challenge. Pancreatitis is induced through too much fat in the diet.
Avatar n tn Fatty molecules are transported in a protein capsule, and the density of the lipids and type of protein determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism. This condition may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease or acute pancreatitis. You can read ore about this through this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlipidemia Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn My internal medicine doctor hasn’t had much to say (“maybe a little inflammation”) and doesn’t appear interested in symptoms (“probably combination gas and stress”). He says it’s taken longer for ALT to fall than expected, but not alarming. Next step is more LFTs, then a GI (until then, waiting game). Would cirrhosis be detected on an U/S? How likely is chronic pancreatitis given these symptoms? Wouldn’t that have shown some abnormalities on the pancreatic enzyme tests?
Avatar f tn Prior to the pancreatitis, he sporadically leaked urine at night, but about a week before his pancreatitis emerged, it progressed significantly to every night, and during the day during long periods of sleep. This has naturally persisted, along with classical symptoms of increased water intake.
611067 tn?1458591483 I saw my gastro doctor and he says that he does NOT think I have chronic pancreatitis like my family doctor thought. He said that my lipace levels were not high enough and that the pain and bloating does not indicate that, plus the MRI shows that everything in that region looks good. He thinks that maybe there is something wrong near the connection sites from my gastric bypass. So, he has me scheduled for an endoscope on Nov. 11th.
Avatar m tn no acute finding, normal hepatic echogenicity, no focal hepatic lesion, unremarkable gallbladder, spleen normal in size, pancreas completely obscured by gas.” Most other tests that have been run (bilirubin, amylase, lipase, alk phos, protein, albumin, blood count, some others) are normal (exceptions: vit D low, cholesterol high). BP ~125/80. Viral hep results came back negative.
611067 tn?1458591483 Saturday, I tried to eat dinner, but it hurt my stomach and so I stuck with SF/FF Jello instead and a Soy Protein drink. Last night I had a Soy Protein drink and a small sweet potato. I had no trouble. I'm gaining more energy from the food. So, yes, I'm getting nutrition and taking supplements as well. My doctor even gave me her cell phone number a couple months ago.
Avatar n tn i am so glad I finally found someone with the same problem as I have, chronic pancreatitis. I have been going on a trial and error diet and don't want to get the pain and misery again! I did broil some chicken breast and had no problems. Also can eat about 2 ounces of tuna packed in water. As the pancreatitis has caused me to be diabetic that also causes problems. I am eating several small meals each day. Wouold be glad of any suggestions that have worked for some body else.
Avatar m tn However, a few weeks after beginning the injections the abdominal pain returned along with all of the other pancreatitis symptoms. I went to my doctor who thoroughly tested me and said I do not have pancreatitis despite the symptoms. I would also add that he does not know what I have and seems to be under the impression I just want drugs. The feelings of things not being real had returned even stronger despite the injections and I am freaking out. Has anyone heard of anything similar?
Avatar n tn Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
10821430 tn?1439580883 I asked about PLE but guess no one has that information? After reading online about both...it now seems possible there is yet another problem this might be...(?) we have a limited amount of "good" veterinarians here,I understand no one can diagnose but wondering if someone has some general information that might offer insight? I have a 10 yr. old neutred Yorkie,Monday he had loose stools,low appetite,lethargic but drinking normal,urinating normal,I thought an upset stomach,temp.
Avatar f tn Yellow skin and eyes clay colored-stools - Normal liver enzymes Hi All - So I got CBC labs done recently and my liver enzymes were normal AST at 35(10-40 range) and ALT at 58(9-60 range) although on the high side of the range, but they were still in the normal range according to the labs. After more investigation I tested for pancreatic enzymes such as Amylase at 118 (21-101 range) and Lipase at 114 (7-60 range) which were elevated.
Avatar f tn im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
Avatar m tn ve also had an elevated hs-crp over the course of several months around 5 and a couple of high total protein levels, althought it fluctuates. The only medical condition I've really ever had is acute pancreatitis about 20 years ago. My pain hurts in the same place but is not the sharp, disabling pain I had with acute pancreatitis, but a milder form of constant pain. Any ideas as to what is causing this would be greatly appreciated. I also feel really tired all the time.
Avatar m tn Oily stool that floats is medically called steatorrhea. Pancreatitis and cholangitis are the main cause. Other possibilities are inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s, celiac, IBS etc. It can be side effects of slimming pills. Bacterial overgrowth and short bowel syndrome where food passes very quickly can be another cause. Patients with chronic pancreatitis have recurrent abdominal pain of varying intensity along with steatorrhea or oily foul smelling stool.
Avatar n tn I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though. Hope you get more answers.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar f tn It started as a small fist sized area on her back then went into both kidney areas then moved forward and subsided where her stomach/gallbladder / liver would be her stomach then started to shut down and she felt like something was stuck and squeezing when she tried to eat she was given pain meds and iv for 6 days in hospital she was able to eat and drink they sent her home about a week later it all started again back pain into lower ribs this time she can eat fine just has constant squeezing p
Avatar f tn He had an abcess on his prostate and also pancreatitis. His blood work showed high BUN and creatinine so was also diagnosed with renal failure. After leaving the vet, the doctor put him on Royal Canin LP dry food for renal failure. He is also on Epakitin. It has been almost 2 months and we took him back to be neutered and have blood work done. His blood work showed that his BUN and creatnine had not increased anymore so the food must be doing his kidneys good.
Avatar f tn 5 (her levels lowered after 48 hours of IV). She is anemic and has pancreatitis and a UTI as well. 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 and---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 (worse than original).
