Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis treatment review
pancreatitis
I also developed pancreatitis approx 1 month after stopping treatment. If anyone has experienced any of this symptoms I would like to hear from you.
I suffer from Sjogren's syndrome, Sarcoidosis, chronic pancreatitis and gastroparesis. My rheumatologist prescribed Plaquenil for treatment of joint pain and I am aware that this medication can affect the eyes. I recently noticed gray spots on my eye near my iris. Just wondering if this is cause for concern.
A phase III trial was moving forward, and I was surprised to learn that a patient receiving alisporivir had died of pancreatitis. The US Food and Drug Administration noted a possible association of pancreatitis with alisporivir and instituted a “clinical hold.” A full evaluation of the alisporivir data set is now under way, and we wait to see whether any possible risks can be managed and whether it is safe to resume testing.
My understanding of the review is that it will be used as a guide to treatment. I have limited confidence in health professionals so it is hard to say which way it is likely to go. Ultimately I would like decent, accessible therapy that will help me move forward in a timely way. Therapy that is sensitive and respectful -all that basic stuff that people seemingly don't know how to apply to 'difficult or different' patients. Therapy that is containing and has limits, etc.
t start treatment with a medication that can cause pancreatitis while you have pancreatitis. I bet any doctor would tell you that. Epclusa includes sofosbuvir which lists "pancreatitis" as a possible side effect.
Here's a study that says....
"There were 7 grade 3 events including anemia, neutropenia, nausea, hypophosphatemia, and cholelithiasis or pancreatitis."

My senior Yorkie recently went to the Vet to review an ocular lesion that suddenly appeared and also receive medication for an ongoing itchy skin dermatitis (small itchy, crusty/flaky circular patches of skin). The doctor prescribed Clavamox for the skin ailment (as Convenia injections don't work very well for her) which I administered with food.
I have been put on Lantus, which is working well, but now he (the doctor) has also put me on Byetta. I read all the warnings, and I asked the pharmacy, and they both told me the side effects are nausea, diahrrea, upset stomach and possible life threatening pancreatis.
This bothers me, as my stomach upsets easily, but what I really want to know is how many of you have been on it and what your reactions were? Also, is the chance of being allergic to it very high?
Look for AsianMale1985, his treatment profile suits yours. When you came to know, was your HbeAg -? It is highly unlikely to get back to + when you had - (seroconverted).
Don't stress it out, stress reduce immune strength and you can only fight this virus with immune strength. Sleep early at night, eat lots of fruits n veggies, and exercise 20-30 mins. everyday will get your immune strength in its prime.
Oh and make sure you do Fibroscan twice a year, 6 months apart.
It would be difficult for me to beleive that pancreatitis would not have shown up on one of the many tests you have had but again it may be possible they missed it.
Tests for pancreatitis include, Fecal fat test, Serum (Serum means blood) amylase,
Serum lipase and Serum trypsinogen. These are fairly common blood tests and would or certainly should have been done on a routine draw.
MY DAUGHTER IS HAVING RECURRENT STROKES OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS. NOW SHE IS 12 YEARS OLD AND HAVING THE PROBLEM FOR LAST 2 YRS. THE ATTACKS HAVE LESSEND A BIT THIS YEAR IN TERMS OF RECURRANCES. SHE HAS BEEN ADVISED SONOGRAPHY REPEATEDLY BUT GENERALLY EVERY TIME ONLY A BULGE IN THE TAIL OF PANCREAS IS FOUND. ERCP HAS BEEN DONE AND THE DUCTS ARE NOT DILATED. SO SCHRINTOMY WAS NOT POSSIBLE. PLEASE SUGGEST TREATMENT AND WHETHER AT ALL THIS IS CURABLE.
With repeated bouts of acute pancreatitis, damage to the pancreas can occur and lead to chronic pancreatitis. Scar tissue may form in the pancreas, causing loss of function. A poorly functioning pancreas can cause digestion problems and diabetes.
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.
The endoscopy found mild gastritis. All other test are normal.The pancreatic specialist did not mention pancreatitis at the time and only prescribed nexium and sulcrafate for the gastritis. I am 67, and never had a previous bout with pancreatitis. Moderate beer drinker. How should I be treated?
I am living in the UK and receiving National Health Service (NHS) treatment. I posted in early February after I had been for a mammogram and ultrasound for a large lump in right breast. I had numerous views taken at the time including magnification. I was told that I had several large cysts and a possible fibroadenoma. Calcifications were also present. As I had very little knowledge at the time, I did not even ask if they were macro or micro.
How long can someone live (approx) with Chronic Pancreatitis when they are a heavy drinker? I have a family member that was Diagnosed with this and continues to drink heavy! He has had many attacks! This last time they wanted to place him in ICU but he checked him self out against Medical advise! If he continues to drink like this what will happen to him? Worried!!!
Correction: Gall bladder pancreatitis should be gall stone pancreatitis
I agree 100% with Ginger, it sounds like an attack of pancreatitis to me. The normal treatment for pancreatitis is one week of hospitalization on NOTHING but IV fluids, not even water to drink, to give the pancreas TOTAL REST. After the week is up, they start slowly introducing very bland food.
Any time a dog is fed human food there is the risk of them developing pancreatitis, and even one meal can be enough to cause it.
Due to excessive alcohol consumption, I have been hospitalized with pancreatitis 3 times. They were all very severe attacks. I've been sober since the last hospitalization, over a year ago. I have constant pain in my back and under my rib cage, where my pancreas is located. My doctor says it should eventually stop hurting but it doesn't seem to be improving. My gallbladder has been removed, my blood work is normal and scans of my pancreas show nothing.
I am retired and living in Crete. I am 66 next month and was diagnosed with Crohns when I was 27. I was suffering with ileo-caecal TB and eventually had a hemi-colectomy and the Crohns was in the ascending colon. Yes it was TB as the sample was sent away to London for the culture to be grown. I had a further resection in my 30's followed by pancreatitis and then gall bladder removal. Had bad flare-ups from time to time which anti-inflamatories did little to help.
My question is does this mean I have chronic pancreatitis or can you not tell on a MRCP? Does the duct dilatation set off an inflamation of the liver and pancreas and cause the pancreatitis pain? Also can the duct dilatation heal on its own in time?
I have no desire to undergo an ERCP as I've heard such nightmare stories from people who have undergone but yet I'm so tired of not feeling good and having pain and just would like to feel good again.
Thanks for your help.
s Syndrome with fibromyalgia 7 months ago. Since that time I have been diagnised with chronic pancreatitis, gastroparesis and sarcoidosis. Is there a possibility that these diseases are related? She has attempted to treat the pancreatitis and the digestive issues but have yet to be treated in any way for the Sjogren's or the sarcoidosis. Is this proper protocol?
1. Steroids, mumps, Epstein Barr Virus and Cytomegalovirus, Lupus and other immune diseases, very high calcium, lipids and triglycerides, drugs: sulfa drugs, steroids, NSAID use, diuretics, duodenal ulcer, diabetic drugs especially Byetta.
The drugs could be a problem for both the pancrease and liver too. If you have been taking Byetta for diabetis it is very important to get treatment for that right away.
I would say there is cause for concern but you are getting it checked out.
My chocolate lab "Skip" is about 10 years old and developed pancreatitis for the first time. We took him to the doctor he never vomited or diahrea until the day after he got to the vets office. His amalyse was high like 8000 and his glucose and white blood count low but we got an ultrasound to make sure not cancer. He started to show improvements with the IV and antibiotic. Now a week later he is starting to decline and the vet has tried everything.
