Review Articles On Chronic Pancreatitis

 Chronic pancreatitis is a pancreatic inflammation that neither heals nor improves — it gets worse over time and leads to permanent damage. Eventually, chronic pancreatitis impairs a patient's capacity to absorb food and produce pancreatic hormones. Industrialized countries have predicted that 5-12/100,000 individuals will experience chronic pancreatitis per annum. Chronic pancreatitis has a frequency of 50/100,000 men. Chronic pancreatitis often develops between the ages of 30 and 40 in patients, and is more common in men than women. Most people with chronic pancreatitis experience upper abdominal pain though there are some who have no pain at all. The pain may spread to the neck, get worse from eating or drinking, and become persistent and disabled.
