Question 1

is pancrelipase a good substitute to pancrease?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It depends on why you're taking pancrease (pancrelipase).  If it's because your pancreas does not make enough pancrease (pancrelipase) on its own (pancreatic exocrine insufficiency), then you may also be deficient in lipase, so a combination of the two may be good for your condition.  Hope this helps.

Question 2

what are some cases in which a person will need to get pancrease (pancrelipase)?

Accepted Answer

Pancreas conditions: Pancrease (pancrelipase) is a supplementary dietary enzyme used to replace the digestive enzyme from the pancreas. If you have had pancreas surgery, pancreas injury, pancreatitis, or pancreas gland dysfunction, then replacing the enzyme  can help with food digestion.

Question 3

do you think has has something to do with my weight gain?

i have had a damaged pancrease tail?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Damaged pancreas tail is not a medical diagnosis. If you have gained weight, you need to reduce your intake of food and increase your physical activity.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Wish you good health!

Question 4

could i have a pancrease (pancrelipase) transfer to cure diabetics?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In diabetics a pancreas transplant is often performed together with a kidney transplant. There is also research into using pancreatic islet cell transplantation which is less invasive usually than a whole organ transplantation in diabetics to restore beta cell function (the Insulin producing cells of the pancreas.) islet cell transplantation is still considered experimental.

Question 5

is pancrelipase a good substitute for pancrease enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Yes?: If you have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, the treatment is oral pancreatic enzymes (aka pancrealipase).  These enzymes are also used to treat chronic pancreatitis.  Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is fairly uncommon, generally seen in patient with a history of acute or chronic pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis or pancreatic surgery.

Question 6

what is a mucinuos cystic neoplasm of the pancrease (pancrelipase)?

Accepted Answer

Complicated: There are three possible entities to which you are referring. Mucinous cystadenoma (benign), mucinous cystadenosarcoma (malignant), and intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (benign or malignant).  All three have certain appearances on imaging studies. They can be treated surgically and if malignant, have a better prognosis than "traditional" pancreatic cancer (adenocarcinoma).

Question 7

are there any artificial pancreases (pancrelipase)?

Accepted Answer

No: However, transplant of small cellular components of the pancreas which make the insulin, called islets, are done in a few experimental centers around the country.  In addition, some patients can do well with an external artificial Insulin pump which delivers Insulin over a two day period and has to be adjusted less frequently than given Insulin shots.

Question 8

to change from pancrease to pancrelipase. is that favorable?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It depends on why you're taking pancrease (pancrelipase).  If it's because your pancreas does not make enough pancrease (pancrelipase) on its own (pancreatic exocrine insufficiency), then you may also be deficient in lipase, so a combination of the two may be good for your condition.  Hope this helps.

Question 9

is there no cure for pancrease (pancrelipase) divisium with pain?

Accepted Answer

Pancreatic divisum: Patients with pancreatic division are often worked up with mrcp and/or ercp.  Patients may undergo endoscopic or surgical therapy, in the form of sphincterotomy or sphincteroplasty. In a systematic review, liao found that the pooled response rate to surgical intervention for acute recurrent pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and chronic abdominal pain was 83.2%, 66.7%, and 51.6%, respectively; the overall response rate to surgery was 74.9%.
