Pancreatitis Treatment in Hyderabad

Overview - What Is Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long-term damage). It requires prompt medical attention to prevent complications.

Symptoms Of Pancreatitis

• Severe abdominal pain radiating to the back
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fever
• Unexplained weight loss (chronic cases)

Diagnosis & Treatment Of Pancreatitis

Dr. Viswanath Kamisetty, a leading gastro doctor in KPHB, diagnoses pancreatitis through blood tests, imaging (CT scan, MRI), and endoscopic procedures.

Treatment Options for Pancreatitis

The approach to treating pancreatitis depends on whether it's an acute (sudden) or chronic (long-term) condition.

Acute Pancreatitis: The primary goals of treatment are to support the body while the pancreas heals and to manage pain. This typically involves:

• Hospitalization: For monitoring and supportive care.
• Intravenous (IV) Fluids: To prevent dehydration.
• Pain Management: Medications to alleviate discomfort.
• Nutritional Support: Initially, food and drink may be restricted, with gradual reintroduction of a bland diet. In some cases, a feeding tube may be necessary.
• Addressing the Underlying Cause: If gallstones are the cause, surgery or other procedures may be needed.

Chronic Pancreatitis: Management focuses on pain relief, improving digestion, and preventing further damage to the pancreas. This may include:

• Pain Management: Medications, nerve blocks, or surgery in some cases.
• Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT): To aid digestion.
• Dietary Modifications: A low-fat diet, avoiding alcohol, and potentially smaller, more frequent meals.
• Diabetes Management: If diabetes develops as a complication.
• Treatment of Complications: Addressing issues like pseudocysts or bile duct blockages.
