PANCREATICDISORDERS

ANSWERS
1. C. Gallstone related
• Gallstones are responsible for 40% of acute pancreatitis
• A>3- fold elevation of ALT in the presence of acute pancreatitis has a positive predictive value of 95% in diagnosing acute gallstone pancreatitis
• Hypertriglyceridemia is not thought to be a risk for acute pancreatitis at levels below mmol/ L
Although alcohol is thought to account for >30% of cases of acute pancreatitis, there is nothing in the question stem to suggest a history of excessive alcohol consumption. There is also no history of recent new medication that makes drug- related pancreatitis unlikely. Although an ampullary tumour is possible, the young age of the patient and no family history of pancreatic malignancy make this a less likely diagnosis. The patient has hypertriglyceridemia. However, the serum triglyceride level is insuciently elevated to cause acute pancreatitis. Even in the context of a normal calibre common bile duct, the presence of gallstones within the gallbladder of a patient with acute pancreatitis and no other more likely aetiology should prompt further investigation of gallstone- related disease. Furthermore, an elevated ALT ≥3- fold— the upper limit of normal in the presence of acute pancreatitis— has a positive predictive value of 95% in diagnosing acute gallstone pancreatitis.

2. B. It is a dose- independent complication
• Two to three per cent of patients with inammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with azathioprine will develop azathioprine- induced pancreatitis
• It usually manifests as mild disease within one month of treatment initiation and rapidly improves on treatment withdrawal
Azathioprine- induced pancreatitis is an idiosyncratic, dose- independent drug reaction aecting 2%– 7% of treated patients with IBD. Risk factors associated with its onset include female gender, cigarette smoking, glucocorticoid exposure, and certain human leukocyte antigen polymorphisms. There is no association with polymorphisms in the thiopurine methyltransferase enzyme. The temporal relationship between initiation of azathioprine and symptom onset usually helps clarify the diagnosis, with most cases occurring within one month of commencing treatment. Other potential causes of acute pancreatitis in IBD must also be considered, however, including drug­related pancreatitis (e.g. 5- aminosalicylates, metronidazole), choledocholithiasis (with increased prevalence of gallstones in Crohn’s disease), and from related autoimmune conditions (primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune pancreatitis). In most cases, the pancreatitis is mild and

3. B. Diclofenac
• The risk of PEP is 3.5% in unselected cases
• The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recommends 00 mg rectal diclofenac or indomethacin for all patients undergoing ERCP unless contraindicated
PEP is the most common complication of ERCP occurring in 3.5% of patients. Most cases are mild– moderate but death occurs in 3%. Patient risk factors for PEP include functional biliary sphincter disorder (formerly Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, female gender, and previous pancreatitis. Procedural risk factors include prolonged cannulation attempts, pancreatic guidewire passage, and pancreatic injection. ESGE 204 guidelines recommend the routine administration of diclofenac or indomethacin either pre- or post- procedure. The estimated number needed to treat to prevent one episode of pancreatitis is 5. Both glyceryl trinitrate and somatostatin have conicting evidence to support their use with heterogeneity of dosages or routes of administration used in dierent trials. The other medications listed are ineective in reducing PEP.

4. A. Abdominal ultrasound
• All patients with acute pancreatitis should have an abdominal ultrasound at presentation to look for gallstones as the underlying aetiology
• Early CT imaging does not help prognosticate or improve outcomes but can be useful after 72 hours in deteriorating patients to exclude pancreatic necrosis and/ or collections
International Association of Pancreatology (IAP)/ American Pancreatic Association (APA) guidelines recommend the use of ultrasound abdomen for all patients presenting with acute pancreatitis to establish the possibility of a gallstone aetiology, although an ALT level >50 U/ L within 48 hours after symptoms onset discriminates biliary pancreatitis with a positive predictive value of >95%.
Contrast CT in acute pancreatitis is indicated in cases of diagnostic uncertainty to help conrm disease severity based on clinical predictors, and in the setting of clinical deterioration where pancreatic necrosis and peripancreatic uid collections amenable to surgical/ radiological intervention may be identied. These complications take several days to manifest and therefore optimal timing for initial CT assessment is at least 72– 96 hours after onset of symptoms. Early CT does not add to prognostic scoring systems or improve clinical outcome.

5. C. 750 ml Ringer’s lactate over one hour
• In acute pancreatitis, Ringer’s lactate decreases the incidence of systemic inammatory response syndrome (SIRS) compared with resuscitation with normal saline
CHAPTER 5 | ANSWERS
https://t.me/medicina_free
• Meta- analysis has demonstrated no evidence to support the routine use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis
There have been few head- to- head trials on the eects of dierent uid regimes on outcomes in acute pancreatitis. However, there is randomized control data suggesting that resuscitation with Ringer’s lactate decreases the incidence of SIRS compared with resuscitation with normal saline. The use of HES is discouraged because it has been found to increase the rates of renal failure and mortality, as compared with Ringer’s lactate in patients with severe sepsis. Note that Ringer’s lactate is very similar but not identical to Hartmann’s solution. Although uid resuscitation is important, particularly in severe acute pancreatitis, there is randomized control evidence that overly aggressive resuscitation can increase morbidity and mortality. Patients resuscitated with uid infusion rate of 5– 0 ml/ kg/ h experienced less need for mechanic ventilation, abdominal compartment syndrome, sepsis, and mortality as compared with patients assigned to receive infusion rates of 0– 5 ml/ kg/h.

patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
6. B. Enteral feeding via nasogastric tube
• The presence of SIRS at baseline and 48 hours helps grade severity of pancreatitis, predict outcome, and guide approach to nutritional management
• In severe pancreatitis, dened by the presence of SIRS, enteral feeding reduces systemic infections, multi- organ failure, and mortality
Determining the optimal nutritional strategy in acute pancreatitis requires an assessment of severity. Despite a range of validated predictive scoring systems, the joint international guidelines recommend using the presence of SIRS to dene severe pancreatitis because of its widespread familiarity and simplicity. SIRS is dened by the presence of two or more of the following criteria:() temperature <36oC or >38oC (2)heart rate >90/ min, (3)respiratory rate >20/ min, and (4)white blood cells >2 or >0% bands. Persistent SIRS (>48 hours) carries a 25% mortality compared with 8% mortality for transient SIRS.
In mild– moderate pancreatitis, oral feeding with a full solid diet can start as soon as clinically tolerated. In those intolerant to oral feeding, enteral tube feeding (using standard polymeric formulae) should be commenced within 24– 48 hours of admission. In severe pancreatitis, dened by the presence of SIRS, enteral tube feeding (via either a nasojejunal or nasogastric tube) is the preferred route and has been proven to reduce systemic infections, multi- organ failure, need for surgical intervention, and mortality. While placement of a nasogastric feeding tube is more straightforward, a number of patients will not tolerate nasogastric feeding because of delayed gastric emptying and may require nasojejunal tube placement. Parenteral nutrition is reserved for patients who do not meet nutritional requirements via the oral or enteral route. Where parenteral is indicated, parenteral L- glutamine should also be supplemented because it may reduce infection rates and mortality.

7. C. Within 24 hours
• In patients with gallstone pancreatitis and coexisting cholangitis, an ERCP should be performed urgently (<24 hours)
• In patients with gallstone pancreatitis without cholangitis, the need and timing of ERCP remain unclear
The role and timing of ERCP in acute gallstone pancreatitis is controversial and was subject to Cochrane systematic review and meta- analysis in 202. This demonstrated that routine ERCP (<72 hours) did not signicantly aect mortality or local/ systemic complications, regardless of pancreatitis severity compared with conservative treatment alone. Furthermore, no statistically signicant eect of the timing of ERCP (<24 hours vs <72 hours) on mortality was demonstrated. Therefore, in uncomplicated gallstone pancreatitis, it is reasonable to treat conservatively for at least the rst 48 hours.
However, meta- analysis did clearly demonstrate that early ERCP (<24 hours) improved mortality and local and systemic complications in patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis and co- existing cholangitis, which is evident in this case (jaundice, fever, choledocholithiasis, and common bile duct dilatation).

8. C. EUS- guided transmural drainage
• Most pancreatic pseudocysts can be managed conservatively with drainage only required for cases with symptoms, obstructive complications, or pseudocyst infection
• EUS- guided transmural stenting represents the best and safest method of achieving pseudocyst drainage
The MRCP image shows a large pancreatic pseudocyst (Fig. 5.3; arrow). Pancreatic pseudocysts complicate 0%– 20% and 20%– 40% of cases of acute and chronic pancreatitis respectively. In CP, the risk of pseudocysts is particularly high with underlying alcohol aetiology. Up to 70% of pseudocysts will resolve spontaneously, particularly following an episode of acute pancreatitis, and, even without resolution, most pseudocysts rarely lead to signicant symptoms or complications. Most pseudocysts can therefore be managed conservatively with intervention reserved for patients with symptoms (usually abdominal pain) or complications including biliary and/ or gastric outlet obstruction, pseudocyst bleeding, or infection. In these problematic cases, a range of treatment modalities are available. Traditionally, a surgical cystogastrostomy was performed, which involved an open or laparoscopic procedure to create an anastomosis between the lumen of the cyst cavity and the stomach. However, endoscopic approaches are now preferred, yielding similar technical success rates with lower rates of complications. Conventional endoscopic drainage involves visualizing the pseudocyst bulge in the gastric wall, advancing a guidewire into the pseudocyst cavity, and deploying one or more plastic stents. While this can safely be used for visibly bulging pseudocysts, most pseudocysts are now drained under EUS guidance to allow safer access and a decrease in complications. Trials comparing percutaneous versus endoscopic drainage have demonstrated equivalent technical success rates but a decreased re- intervention rate and shorter hospital stays among patients drained endoscopically.

9. D. Pancreas divisum
• Pancreas divisum results from failure of ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts to fuse, and occurs in 4%– 4% of the population
• Poor pancreatic drainage through the minor papilla can result in recurrent pancreatitis
• Annular pancreas is characterized by pancreatic tissue wrapping around the descending duodenum, and can rarely cause duodenal obstruction and ulceration
Pancreas divisum is the most common congenital pancreatic ductal abnormality occurring in 4%– 4% of the population. It is characterized by a failure of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic anlage to fuse during gestation resulting in two separate duct systems:the dorsal pancreatic duct (Santorini duct) directly entering the minor papilla, and the ventral duct (Wirsung) entering the major papilla. In most cases, there is no communication between the two ducts with most of the pancreas drained via the dorsal duct and minor papilla (Fig. 5.2). Most patients are asymptomatic. However, it can be associated with recurrent pancreatitis due to inadequate pancreatic drainage. Up to 26% of patients with idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis have pancreas divisum. Annular pancreas is a much rarer anomaly (/ 20,000 people) in which a band of pancreatic tissue surrounds the descending duodenum, either completely or incompletely, and is in continuity with the head of the pancreas. The anomaly is often discovered incidentally in asymptomatic patients although it can be associated with duodenal stenosis and ulceration, acute pancreatitis, and biliary obstruction.

10. E. S- cells in the duodenum
• Secretin and Cholecystokinin (CCK), produced by duodenal S- cells and enteroendocrine cells respectively, promote secretion of bicarbonate- rich uid and digestive enzymes from the pancreas
• Secretin- stimulated MRCP improves pancreatic duct distension and signaling, and can be used to help characterize anatomical abnormalities
The acinar cells of the exocrine pancreas are radially orientated around a central lumen into which >2L of bicarbonate- rich uid containing digestive enzymes and proenzymes are secreted each day. This secretion is upregulated both by neural stimulation from the vagus nerve and from humoral factors, principally secretin and CCK. Secretin is produced by duodenal S- cells in response to low luminal pH derived from the transit of acidic gastric secretions. Secretin stimulates the pancreatic acinar cells and duodenal Brunner’s glands to secrete neutralizing water and bicarbonate, as well as to directly downregulate acid production by gastric parietal cells. The exogenous administration of intravenous secretin during MRCP image acquisition can improve pancreatic duct visualization by increasing duct calibre and signal intensity. Secretin- stimulated MRCP therefore has a role in the detection and characterization of pancreatic duct abnormalities, communications with stulae or pseudocysts, and in Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
CCK is produced by duodenal enteroendocrine cells in response to a meal, and promotes the production and secretion of digestive enzymes from the exocrine pancreas. CCK also increases hepatic bile production, stimulates the contraction of the gallbladder, and induces Sphincter of Oddi relaxation. CCK- stimulated cholescintigraphy, which involves assessment of gallbladder contractility and emptying after injection of CCK, and a radiolabelled tracer can be used in carefully selected cases to investigate functional gallbladder disorders.
The endocrine pancreas is comprised of alpha, beta, delta, and epsilon cells that produce glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, and ghrelin respectively.

11. E. Progression to CP after a single attack of acute pancreatitis occurs in 10% of patients.
• Alcohol consumption is the most common cause of CP
• Pancreatic insuciency is best managed with pancreatic enzyme replacement with dose uptitrated to control maldigestion- related symptoms (e.g. steatorrhoea, weight loss)
• All patients with CP should be screened for osteoporosis at baseline with dual- energy X- ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
CP is accompanied by the progressive destruction of both islet cells and acinar tissue. Malabsorption only becomes evident once >90% of pancreatic acinar tissue has been destroyed. Progression to CP following a single attack of acute pancreatitis occurs in 0%. The most common aetiology for CP is alcohol excess with smoking and genetic mutations also signicant risk factors. Hereditary pancreatitis should be considered in young patients with otherwise unexplained CP and carries a signicantly elevated risk of secondary pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic calcication occur in >90% of patients with CP and are pathognomonic in the appropriate clinical context. Contrast­enhanced CT is reported to have moderate sensitivity and very high specicity (close to 00%).
Malabsorption (exocrine insuciency), including of fat- soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), should be managed with adequate pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy starting at a minimum lipase dose of 40,000– 50,000 PhU with main meals and half that dose with snacks. This should be uptitrated as necessary, aiming for the relief of maldigestion- related symptoms (e.g. steatorrhoea, weight loss, atulence) and normalization of nutritional status. Monitoring for osteoporosis should be done by DEXA scan at baseline and repeated every two years in those with osteopenia.

12. E. Vitamin deciencies can occur in the absence of steatorrhoea
• Vitamin deciencies can occur with mild– moderate pancreatic endocrine insuciency well before the onset of steatorrhoea
• FE is not capable of excluding mild– moderate PEI
• Direct tests involving the collection of duodenal juice in response to a hormonal stimulus are the accepted reference standard for PEI
Mild– moderate exocrine insuciency can be compensated and asymptomatic, with severe disease (manifesting as steatorrhoea) only developing once pancreatic lipase falls <0% of normal. Patients with ‘compensated’ PEI do, however, have an increased risk of nutritional deciencies, particularly of fat- soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). The most common causes of PEI include CP and cystic brosis. Additional causes include pancreatic neoplasms, post- pancreatic resection and acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Coeliac disease can also lead to PEI, secondary to villous atrophy and impaired CCK production. Severe PEI and steatorrhea tend to manifest over a decade from initial diagnosis of CP. FE is a simple test for the indirect and non- invasive evaluation of pancreatic secretion. It is not capable of excluding mild– moderate PEI and there is no consensus regarding the threshold levels
