Introduction
Nutrition in chronic pancreatitis has been described as a
problem area[1]. There is a high risk of undernutrition,
and the etiology is multifactorial. Exocrine pancreatic
insufficiency (EPI) results in the malabsorption of
macro- and micronutrients. Moreover, pancreatic
enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is often underused
and underprescribed[2], and may not fully restore normal digestive function [3]. Poor dietary intake is common due to abdominal symptoms, pain, heavy smoking,
fear of eating (due to distressing synptoms), and (for
some) alcohol abuse. However, not all patients with
chronic pancreatitis are classically underweight (particularly in the earlier stages of diease), and some may be
overweight or obese.
Undernutrition
The mean body mass index (BMI) of patients with
chronic pancreatitis varies considerably between different countries, reflecting the general nutritional status of
the country. Examples of BMI values reported for
patients with chronic pancreatitis include: 19.3
India, 21.9 kg/m2 in Italy, 22.1 kg/m2 in Poland, 23 kg/m2
in Denmark, 24 kg/m2 in the Netherlands, and 25.9 kg/
m2/25.5 kg/m2 in males/females in Ireland. Patients with
chronic pancreatitis have consistently lower BMIs, lower
muscle mass, and handgrip strength than matched controls. The clinical impact of overweight and obesity
among patients with chronic pancreatitis is uncertain,
but obesity may mask micronutrient deficiencies and
sarcopenia. Those who abuse alcohol have an increased
risk of undernutrition. High alcohol users tend to have
kg/m2 in
poor nutrient intakes, either due to effects on appetite or
due to displacement of food[4]. High alcohol intake also
independently increases the risk of osteoporosis, and
may be associated with diarrhea and malabsorption[5].
Sarcopenia, a disorder associated with loss of muscle
mass, strength and function[6], may develop in patients
with chronic pancreatitis, particularly if there is EPI[7].
Nutrient Deficiency
Specific nutrient deficiencies may arise in chronic pancreatitis as a result of steatorrhea (loss of fat- soluble vitamins), alcoholism (increased requirement or loss of
water- soluble vitamins), or poor/imbalanced dietary
intake. The prevalence of specific nutrient deficiencies
varies between studies and countries[8]. They reported
that the rate of vitamin A, D, and E deficiency were
16.8%, 57.6%, and 29.2% respectively, with considerable
heterogeneity. Another systematic review found that
while vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency were highly
prevalent in patients with chronic pancreatitits, there
was no significant difference between patients and
healthy controls[9]. Only one study has investigated the
prevalence of vitamin K deficiency, reporting that 63% of
chronic pancreatitis patients had low serum levels of
vitamin K [10], but vitamin K deficiency is more correctly measured by undercarboxylated osteocalcin or by
measurement of proteins of vitamin K absence, and not
by measurement of serum vitamin K or prothrombin
time, both of which are inaccurate[12]. There have been
few studies on other micronutrients, but isolated studies
identified low magnesium [13] and zinc levels [14]
among chronic pancreatitis patients. In a study from
India, folate and vitamin B12 were reportedly lower in

patients with tropical and alcohol- related chronic pancreatitis than in controls, and low levels correlated with
increased oxidative stress. Smoking was associated with
much higher risk of folate deficiency[15].
Despite the ostensibly common occurrence of biochemical vitamin deficiency, there are few published
reports on the clinical manifestation of such deficiencies in chronic pancreatitis. The exception is vitamin D,
which contributes (among other factors) to the welldocumented high prevalence of osteoporosis [16].
Overt vitamin D deficiency resulting in osteomalacia
(adult rickets) has also been reported[17]. Neurologic
abnormalities associated with vitamin E deficiency
have also been rarely reported. One patient out of
13 with biochemical vitamin E deficiency had typical
neurologic manifestations along with poorly controlled
diabetes[18]. A condition known as brown bowel syndrome (associated with vitamin E deficiency) has also
been reported in a deficient patient with chronic pancreatitis, celiac disease, and adenocarcinoma of the
colon[19].
Clinical manifestations of vitamin A deficiency tend to
manifest as visual defects. One case report[20] described
a 45- year- old male with chronic pancreatitis, chronic
alcoholism, diabetes, and a history of cholecystectomy.
The patient presented with steatorrhea, cachexia, low
BMI, and severe weight loss, along with ocular pain, photophobia, and decreased visual acuity. A second
report[21] described a patient with chronic pancreatitis,
malnutrition, and vitamin A deficiency who developed
ulcerative keratitis in one eye and necrotizing stromal
ulceration with hyphema in the other eye. In general,
clinical deficiencies appear to take years to develop, and
occur when there is an additional comorbidity, such as
celiac disease or diabetes, or post surgery.
Micronutrient Supplementation
There is a notable research gap regarding the management of nutrient deficiency in chronic pancreatitis,
excepting vitamin D. In a study comparing oral vitamin
D supplementation to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in
chronic pancreatitis, oral supplementation (1520 IU/
day) was significantly more effective in increasing
serum 25(OH)D, achieving an increase of 32.3 nmol/L
(95% 15–50 nmol/L) over 10 weeks [22]. High- dose,
single- dose supplementation also appears to be safe
and effective in increasing serum 25(OH)D. One study
compared 600,000 IU or 300,000 IU single intramuscular injections or intramuscular saline, and found that
the higher dose was more effective at increasing serum
25(OH)D, with no reports of hypervitaminosis or
hypercalcemia[23].
There are few studies, if any, examining the effectiveness or safety of supplementing vitamins A, E, or K in
patients with chronic pancreatitis and biochemical deficiencies. One study documented unexplained excess levels of vitamin A in patients with chronic pancreatitis who
were not being supplemented[24]. Therefore, mass supplementation of patients is not recommended, nor is it
possible to recommended dosage, administration methods, or specific patient types that warrant supplementation. A precision medicine approach is warranted, with
measurement of serum vitamins and attention given to
optimizing dietary intake and PERT.
Dietary Intervention
Nutritional status can be improved in chronic pancreatitis with the use of PERT when EPI exists, and by individualized dietary intervention and dietary counseling
by an experienced dietitian who specializes in pancreatic
disease and works within a multidisciplinary team[25].
In general, interventional studies investigating the
effect of various treatments on nutritional status in
chronic pancreatitis are scarce, representing a clear
research gap. Nevertheless, active treatment works for
those who receive it. A systematic review identified
eight studies on the long- term nutritional effects of
clinical interventions (including input by specialist
dietitians, PERT dose escalation, supplementation, or
tube feeding) [26]. All studies included in the review
demonstrated improved weight gain and pain control
compared to a deterioration of nutritional status in
patients who were not treated.
Nutritional requirements are up to 35 kcal/kg per
day[5,27], and 1.2–1.5 g protein/kg per day[5,27,28].
Particularly in the early stages, very low- fat diets (or
fat- free diets) are not recommended as they decrease
energy intake and make food less palatable [5,29].
Rather, PERT should be optimized to allow for a moderate fat intake. In the later stages of disease, or where
gastrointestinal symptoms are difficult to manage, fat
restriction may be necessary. In this case, care must still
be taken to optimize PERT along with acid- suppression
medications and to exclude other causes of malabsorption (such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and
giardiasis). There is no evidence that vegetable fat is
better tolerated than animal fat as no studies have
investigated this [5]. Clinicians must also ensure that
patients are compliant with PERT, that they understand
how to take it appropriately, and that PERT capsules are
suitably stored. For example, high temperatures may
denature PERT, reducing their effectiveness. PERT
should therefore not be stored in the pockets of tightfitting clothing, on sunny windowsills, or in hot car

glove compartments [30]. If PERT cannot be swallowed, the capsules may be opened and the microspheres placed in an acidic puree (such as apple sauce),
and swallowed at intervals throughout the meal. The
mouth should be rinsed well with cool water to prevent
ulceration. They should not be allowed to touch, or
remain in, the mouth[30].
Where malabsorption continues with apparently adequate PERT, a restriction in dietary fiber might improve
absorption, as dietary fiber may reduce enzyme availability[5,27]. However, long- term fiber restriction should be
avoided as a diet rich in fruit and vegetables should be
recommended. For most patients, particularly in the later
stages of disease or for those with intractable malabosprtion and distressing symptoms, a frequent, low- volume
meal pattern should be advised with the avoidance of
large meals at any sitting. A trialmight be required as tolerance to food may be patientspecific. Some patients will require oral nutritional supplements if dietary intake alone is not adequate, and
whole- protein types could be tried first before progressing to peptide- based or medium- chain triglyceride
(MCT)- enriched supplements. Antioxidant supplementation for the treatment of chronic pancreatic pain was
considered a promising treatment option[31], but subsequent studies cast doubt on its effectiveness[32]. A systematic review on the effect of antioxidants in pain
reduction, adverse events, and quality of life found 12
studies, 4 of which were included in a meta- analysis[33].
The review found no effects on pain or improvement in
quality of life for those taking antioxidants versus placebo, nor were there increased adverse events.
and- error approach
Enteral andParenteral Nutrition
The vast majority of patients with chronic pancreatitis will
be maintained on an oral diet, with or without supplementation. Enteral nutrition is indicated for malnourished
patients who are unable to meet their requirements
orally [28,34,35,36]. Enteral feeding via the jejunal route
should be performed in the case of delayed gastric emptying, chronic subacute obstruction of the upper gastrointestinal tract by pancreatic cysts[37], and persistent nausea or
vomiting, or pain [28]. Nasojejunal feeding is associated
with a reduction in pain, pseudocysts, and inflammation,
as well as improvements in nutritional status [38,39].
Where jejunal feeding is required for a prolonged period, a
surgical jejunostomy could be considered [28,40]. With
regard to the composition of enteral feeds, peptide- based,
MCT- based formulas may be trialled where standard feeds
are not tolerated[36].
Some patients may require the administration of PERT
along with enteral feeds. Enzymes may be flushed via the
feeding tube every 2 hours or added to the feed itself[30].
Parenteral nutrition should be avoided, if possible, as
complication rates are higher in chronic pancreatitis due
to pancreatic endocrine insufficiency (hyperglycemia)
and immunotransnasal endoscopic placement of distal jejunal feeding
tubes in chronic pancreatitis usually avoids the need for
commonly cited indications of parenteral nutrition,
including gastric outlet obstruction secondary to duodenal stenosis, complex fistulating disease, and severe malnutrition prior to pancreatic surgery[34,36,41].
incompetence (catheter sepsis). The use of
Combined Pancreatic Exocrine and
Endocrine Deficiency
With end- stage calcific chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic
endocrine deficiency exacerbates malnutrition and makes
nutritional management even more challenging. Type 3c
diabetes (also termed diabetes of the exocrine pancreas [42]) is known as “brittle diabetes” and carries a
high risk of hypoglycemia and neuroglycopenia, due to
insulin therapy, glycogen deficiency, enhanced peripheral
insulin sensitivity, malabsorption, poor dietary intake,
and, for some, persistent excess alcohol intake[43]. Rapid
swings in blood glucose between hypoglycemia and
hyperglycemia are common, the former due to impaired
pancreatic glucagon and polypeptide responses, the latter
exacerbated by unsuppressed hepatic glucose production [44]. Due to its volatile nature, patients may be
wrongly assumed to be noncompliant with guidelines.
Attempts to increase dietary intake and the addition of
PERT to manage PEI may aggravate hyperglycemia further and have to be carefully covered by increased insulin
therapy. Continous glucose monitors may be useful.
Patients must be jointly managed with an endocrinologist, and careful dietary monitoring by a specialist diabetes dietitian is essential[29,44].
Structured Nutritional Assessment
Once diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, patients
should undergo thorough and regular nutritional assessment by an experienced, specialist dietitian, working in
conjunction with the multidisciplinary team. Figure53.1
summarizes the nutritional assessment of patients with
chronic pancreatitis and includes eight key elements:
1) There should be an anthropometric assessment (includ-
ing BMI, mid- upper arm circumference, triceps skinfold). Formal measures of sarcopenia may be useful.
2) A detailed assessment of current and habitual dietary
intake should be undertaken.

3) Clinical evaluation should include the presence of
nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption, bloating,
wind, anorexia, early satiety, and pain.
4) An assessment of exocrine function should be per-
formed, including the clinical symptoms and signs of
malabsorption, as well as an objective measure of EPI.
5) A biochemical assessment of nutritional status should
include measurement of fat- soluble vitamin levels, as
well as measurement of fasting glucose and glycated
hemoglobin (HbA1c).
6) Endocrine evaluation: A 75 g oral glucose tolerance
test may be required, as some early cases may not be
identifiable by fasting glucose and HbA1c alone[45].
7) Bone health should be evaluated by measurement of
serum 25(OH)D and a baseline bone density scan. All

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Chris E. Forsmark
Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA
Introduction
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (EPI) is defined by the
presence of inadequate pancreatic digestive enzymes in
the intestinal lumen to allow normal digestion of fat, carbohydrates, and protein [1]. These digestive enzymes
account for the majority of enzymatic digestion in
humans under normal circumstances, but there are
alternative salvage pathways for starches and complex
carbohydrates (salivary amylase), protein (pepsin and
brush border peptidases), and fat (gastric lipase), and the
colon can absorb up to 500 kcal/day due to bacterial fermentation of soluble fiber to short chain fatty acids,
which are then absorbed. The pancreas secretes approximately 10- fold the amount of enzymes required for
digestion with each meal, likely an evolutionary advantage when food was scarce and only intermittently available. Whether a reduction in pancreatic enzyme
secretion reaches a threshold of being “insufficient” is
often difficult to precisely determine, and depends on
residual pancreatic secretory capacity, the contents of
the meal being digested, intestinal structure and function, and the efficiency of compensatory or salvage
mechanisms of digestion [1,2]. EPI most commonly
occurs due to acinar cell damage and loss, pancreatic
ductal obstruction preventing enzymes reaching the
duodenum, and asynchronous or delayed mixing of the
meal and enzymes. A number of other conditions are
associated with EPI, such as acidenzymes, inadequate hormonal signaling for pancreatic
secretion, and some rare genetic syndromes. Many other
clinical conditions have been postulated to be associated
with EPI, including long- standing type 1 and 2 diabetes,
the extremes of age, renal failure, irritable bowel syndrome, smokers, and even otherwise unexplained bloating and gas symptoms.
induced inactivation of
Digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients is a complex process, with many overlapping mechanisms in
addition to pancreatic enzyme secretion [1]. Complex
carbohydrates are well absorbed in the absence of pancreatic amylase, due to a combination of salivary amylase
and brush border enzymes. Similarly, protein digestion
and absorption is relatively well preserved in the absence
of pancreatic proteases, due to the actions of pepsin and
brush border peptidases. Fat digestion and absorption is
most dependent on pancreatic lipase and colipase, but
gastric lipase can be upregulated and allows nearly 50%
of normal fat absorption in the absence of pancreatic
lipases. These alternative mechanisms of digestion and
absorption, and the physiologic pancreatic enzyme
reserve capacity, explain why some individuals with diseases causing EPI seem to suffer no nutritional consequences. A second term, exocrine pancreatic dysfunction
(EPD), has been proposed to describe these individuals
with diminished pancreatic enzyme secretion that is not
sufficient to lead to nutritional consequences[3].
Disease States Associated with EPI
(Table54.1)
The most common cause of EPI is chronic pancreatitis
(CP). Prevalence estimates for EPI in patients with CP
range from 30–50%[4–6]. EPI is typically a late consequence of CP, with a mean time to onset of 10–15 years.
The risk of EPI is greater and onset is earlier with CP due
to alcohol, smoking, and certain genetic causes
(e.g., PRSS1 mutation), compared to other etiologies.
Cystic fibrosis patients almost universally have EPI, usually detected at birth.
Pancreatic cancer is another common cause of
EPI[7–11]. Around 70% of pancreatic cancer occurs in

EPI after pancreaticoduodenectomy, for example, is
common (40–90%) and most patients require pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy after surgery [11].
Other surgical procedures may also cause EPI by interfering with mixing of enzymes and the meal. Examples
include bariatric surgery[12], or Roux- type operations
after gastric resections.
Necrotizing pancreatitis can cause EPI in one- third to
half of patients, depending on location and extent of
necrosis[13–15]. Recent studies document that EPI can
also occur acutely in those with milder forms of acute
pancreatitis, and can persist in approximately 20%[16].
A number of other conditions have been suggested to
cause EPI[17]. The most data are in patients with diabetes. Pancreatic weight and volume are markedly reduced
in patients with type 1 DM[18], and even in first- degree
relatives of patients with type 1 DM[19]. Autopsy studies in these patients show interacinar fibrosis, and fecal
elastase and serum trypsinogen are often reduced. Of
note, symptomatic EPI is quite rare in these patients,
leading to a proposal to define this as an exocrine pancreatopathy rather than exocrine insufficiency [18].
These findings point to a complex interplay between the
exocrine and endocrine pancreas. A few studies have
also documented apparent EPI at the extremes of age (<1
or >80), in those with chronic renal failure, in those who
are malnourished or critically ill, and in those with otherwise unexplained osteoporosis [17]. Data supporting
these etiologies of EPI are meager. Two additional conditions merit mentioning, celiac disease and gastrinoma.
In the first, duodenal damage is postulated to cause
defective signaling of CCK from the duodenum, and in
the second excess acid can denature pancreatic digestive
enzymes.
There are also now multiple direct- to- patient offerings
on the internet regarding EPI, describing bloating and
loose stools and excess flatulence as being consistent
with EPI and suggesting patients contact their physician
to discuss these symptoms and whether treatment with
PERT should be considered. In parallel, many enzyme
products of low or unknown potency are available over
the counter to treat these symptoms of purported EPI.
Of course, with very few exceptions, these patients do
not have EPI.
the head of the pancreas, with ductal obstruction and
upstream dilation and atrophy of the pancreatic body
and tail. In those with unresectable pancreatic cancer,
EPI occurs in the majority (50–90%). In those with
resectable disease, EPI is present prior to resection in
40–50%, and increases to ≈75% after resection.
Pancreatic surgery, for benign or malignant indications,
is also commonly associated with postoperative EPI.
Diagnosis andStaging ofEPI
It can be difficult to determine with confidence if EPI is
present. While the potential disease associations are
known (Table54.1), the lack of an accurate diagnostic
test limits diagnostic confidence. EPI is a clinically
defined syndrome, which is suspected based on the presence of steatorrhea, weight or muscle mass loss,

fat- soluble or other vitamin deficiency, or other clinical
features in a patient at risk for EPI[1,20]. The confirmation of maldigestion may be achieved by directly measuring inadequate digestion of fat or protein (e.g., 72- hour
fecal fat). This type of test requires a diet of precisely
known fat content, so that the amount of dietary fat that is
digested and absorbed can be calculated (the CFA- coefficient of fat absorption = [dietary fat- stool fat]/dietary fat;
with a normal of >93%). By convention, these tests use a
high- fat diet (usually 100 gm of fat/day) to gauge maximum pancreatic secretory capacity, but this does not
provide insight into the efficiency of fat absorption with
routinely consumed or low- fat meals. The presence of an
abnormal CFA does not in and of itself prove that EPI is
responsible, merely that maldigestion or malabsorption is
present. These 72- hour stool collections are challenging,
and are rarely done outside of clinical research.
Pancreatic function can also be measured directly,
with a tube or endoscope in the duodenum collecting
pancreatic secretions after a supraphysiologic stimulus
with either secretin (producing ductal secretin of bicarbonate and fluid) or cholecystokinin (CCK; producing
acinar secretion of enzymes). It is noteworthy that the
results of these direct pancreatic function tests often do
not correlate with fecal fat output. As an example, there
is no correlation with abnormal bicarbonate output and
fecal fat in a secretin-
pancreatozymin (CCK) direct pancreatic function test[3]. This discordance may be related
to the fact that these tests do not measure the extrapancreatic sources of lipolysis, hence, there is no way to
define a cutoff in a pancreatic function test below which
EPI (as opposed to EPD) is likely to occur. These direct
pancreatic function tests are complex and invasive, and
therefore rarely utilized in clinical settings.
Several tests are being developed which measure
digestion that is specifically dependent on pancreatic
digestive enzymes. These include a 13C- mixed triglyceride breath test, which measures triglyceride maldigestion by collecting 13CO2 in expired air after ingestion of a
test meal[21,22]. The lipids in the meal require pancreatic lipase and colipase for digestion. Another uses measurement of metabolites in blood of lipids digested by
pancreatic lipase[1]. Both tests are not currently available to clinicians. An ideal test would measure specific
pancreatic enzyme- dependent digestion, be widely available, not require complex collection of stool, and be precise and repeatable. Unfortunately, no such test is
currently available to clinicians.
Instead, the most commonly utilized test is the fecal
elastase- 1 (FE- 1)[1,20,23,24]. This is actually a misnomer, as elastase- 1 is not expressed in the human pancreas due to transcriptional silencing. The commercial
assay actually detects chymotrypsin- like elastases
(CELA3A and CELA3B isoforms)[25]. Nonetheless, the
test is conventionally referred to as fecal elastase-
1.
Levels of FE- 1 < 100 μg/gm of stool are considered abnormal, and levels of 100–200 μg/gm of stool are considered
indeterminate. The test can be measured while patients
are taking PERT. Several caveats apply: (i) the stool sample must be solid or semi- solid as watery stool dilutes the
elastase; (ii) the results can be variable, so testing more
than once is often useful; and (iii) a low elastase alone
does not prove EPI is present (it needs to be in the correct clinical setting). In a systematic review and metaanalysis of FE- 1, the sensitivity is 0.96 (95% CI: 0.79–0.99)
and specificity 0.88 (95% CI: 0.59–0.97) compared to
fecal fat measurement[26]. The wide confidence intervals are noteworthy, and in a low prevalence population
(EPI is present in <5% of the population) the test has a
substantial false positive rate. A number of clinical conditions have been associated with low levels of FE-
1. In
particular, as mentioned above, long- standing diabetes is
associated with reduction in pancreatic weight and volume and a decreased FE- 1, but interestingly not often
with abnormal fat digestion and EPI[18,19].
There have been proposals to define stages of increasing
severity of EPI [3,23]. In one proposal [23], mild EPI is
defined as the reduction in secretion of one digestive
enzyme without steatorrhea, moderate EPI as a reduction
in both digestive enzymes and bicarbonate without steatorrhea, and severe EPI as the presence of steatorrhea.
This categorization requires measurement of pancreatic
digestive enzyme and bicarbonate output, which is not
feasible for clinical use. A second proposal[3] suggests four
stages, based on FE- 1 levels, the presence of symptoms,
fat- soluble vitamin levels, and the CFA. In this proposal,
only those with a CFA < 85% would receive PERT therapy.
As in the first proposal, CFA is only very rarely available
and so these staging systems are helpful as frameworks
but do not have much current utility to clinicians.
Accurate diagnosis of EPI can be challenging, but begins
with a clinical assessment of symptoms that might be consistent with the syndrome, such as weight or muscle mass
loss, diarrhea, steatorrhea, or increased bloating and
flatulence in a patient at risk of possible EPI. Measurement
of baseline nutritional markers in these patients (see
Chapter53) is also appropriate, and low levels of fat- soluble
vitamins can support the diagnosis of EPI. Fecal elastase
testing is the next step, with the caveats noted above.
Ultimately, a presumptive diagnosis of EPI is made by the
clinician, taking into account the clinical setting and ancillary tests, but without a gold- standard test to confirm the
clinical impression. A final diagnostic approach merits
mention— a therapeutic trial of PERT. There is no standardized approach to determine the degree of clinical symptom improvement needed for a therapeutic trial, and the
specificity of these improvements, hence it is not usually
helpful in deciding on the presence of EPI.
