Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy
Patients with chronic pancreatic insufficiency develop improper digestion due to the lack of digestive pancreatic enzymes. Such patients might complain of diarrhea and multi-nutrient deficiencies. Children with cystic fibrosis are at an increased risk of developing pancreatic insufficiency, while adults can develop chronic pancreatitis due to gallbladder disease or alcohol consumption. Regardle...
متن کاملPancreatic enzyme therapy for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency with steatorrhea is a major consequence of pancreatic diseases (eg, chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer), extrapancreatic diseases such as celiac disease and Crohn's disease, and gastrointestinal and pancreatic surgical resection. Recognition of this entity is highly relevant to avoid malnutrition-rela...
متن کاملPancreatic enzyme replacement therapy for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in the 21(st) century.
Restitution of normal fat absorption in exocrine pancreatic insufficiency remains an elusive goal. Although many patients achieve satisfactory clinical results with enzyme therapy, few experience normalization of fat absorption, and many, if not most, will require individualized therapy. Increasing the quantity of lipase administered rarely eliminates steatorrhea but increases the cost of thera...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for pancreatic insufficiency: present and future
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is currently the mainstay of treatment for nutrient malabsorption secondary to pancreatic insufficiency. This treatment is safe and has few side effects. Data demonstrate efficacy in reducing steatorrhea and fat malabsorption. Effective therapy has been limited by the ability to replicate the physiologic process of enzyme delivery to the appropriate site, i...
متن کاملPancreatic enzyme therapy.
BACKGROUND Treatment with pancreatic enzymes must be based on an understanding of the normal physiology and pathophysiology of exocrine pancreatic function, as well as of the diseases that cause exocrine pancreatic insufficiency of either a structural or a functional type. These include chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, cystic fibrosis, pancreaticocibal asynchrony after gastric or pancre...
