Question 1

is there any problems after removal of acinar tumor (pancrease (pancrelipase) head)

Accepted Answer

Need to know more: Your question can't be adequately answered without more information.  I would need to know the precise pathology classification to tell you if there was a chance for recurrence or spread of your tumor.  After any surgery on the pancreas there are risks for post-operative damage to adjacent organs and for malabsorption syndromes because of reduced output of pancreatic enzymes.

Question 2

iam  31 years old female i had us scan for my abdomen everything was normal but pancrease (pancrelipase) slightly coarse echotexture  amlays at normal level  explain?

Accepted Answer

Description: This finding is nonspecific and is of doubtful significance in the setting of a normal amylase (or lipase as is sometimes also obtained). In the absence of a mass, cyst, pancreatic enlargement, or pancreatic duct distention i would not be concerned.

Question 3

i have pain, in under heart area, after eating, i think it is pancrease (pancrelipase). why it could be? and how can i diagnose this symptom?

Accepted Answer

May be ulcer: Could be reflux, ulcer or gallbladder disease, probably not your pancreas. You can try Pepcid (famotidine) which is over the counter; this will help reflux and ulcer symptoms.

Question 4

would a ct with contrast diagnose a gallbladder or pancrease (pancrelipase) issue? or are ultrasounds possibly an endoscopy better at finding problems?

Accepted Answer

US for GB, CT panc: CT is much better for pancreas evaluation because overlying bowel gas limits US visualization in most patients. Because 90% of gallstones are made of cholesterol, they don't show up on CT.  Ultrasound is moderately better at detecting acute cholecystitis.  CT is much better for pancreatitis or pancreatis. Routine fiber optic endoscopy has no role.  Endoscopic US is not a screening exam.

Question 5

i have a problem difficult swallowing saliva.in check up every thing is normal.but liver and pancrease (pancrelipase) show they are weak.what might i do?

Accepted Answer

Vague; Get Specifics: Vast majority of &quot;check-ups&quot; are superficial, miss a majority of health/disease issues because people want quick, easy, cheap ; expect someone else to give them what they want without much effort on their part (impossible). Regarding liver ; pancreas function, what specific issues were reported? No clinical tests, commonly done, are either thorough or definitive. Microalbumen for kidney function.

Question 6

hi i was wondering if my amylase level number is 125 is it considered dangerous at my age 21 for my pancreases checked what could this indicate?

Accepted Answer

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your level is normal.

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

how does vaporizered marijuana interact with pancrease (pancrelipase)? same with e-cig. they say ppl with pancreas issues should stop smoking. what about vaporizers?

Accepted Answer

THC: binds to fat cells- pancreas beaks down fat as does pancrease (pancrelipase).

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%.

Question 10

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.
