Pancreatitis Abscess

In medicine, pancreatitis refers to inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatic necrosis). Pathologies can have different forms, including pancreatic necrosis. This is a severe pathological process that affects all glands located in the retroperitoneal space. An abscess in pancreatitis occurs as follows: fluid seeps through the wall of the digestive organ and forms an effusion.

Pancreatitis is accompanied by acute pain, which is localized in the upper abdomen. To diagnose the disease, doctors prescribe laparoscopy - removal of part of an organ to check its functions. Due to a pancreatic abscess, the patient experiences severe shortness of breath, accompanied by low blood pressure. If you do not provide emergency assistance to the patient, this may result in death for him.

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that can be caused by a variety of causes, including infection, gallstones, alcohol and drugs. One type of pancreatitis is abscess pancreatitis, which is an acute inflammatory disease accompanied by the formation of an abscess in the pancreas.

Abscess pancreatitis is considered a rare disease, but it can lead to serious complications and even death, so it is important to know about its symptoms and treatment methods.

The main symptoms of abscissive pancreatitis are severe pain in the upper abdomen, which can be girdling or concentrated in the left or right hypochondrium. The pain may worsen with bending, physical activity, or changing body position. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also be present.

In addition, the patient may experience a fever, which may be associated with an infection in the body. Other signs of pancreatitis abscisus include weight loss, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), and decreased urine output. All these symptoms can appear either separately or together, and depend on the severity of the disease.

It is important to note that abscess formation can occur at any age, although it is most common in men over 40 years of age. Some causes of abscessive pancreatitis include

**Apostematic pancreatitis** - (otherwise - pancreatitis-abscess) inflammatory damage to the pancreas as a result of blockage of its duct. The consequence of pancreatitis can be the formation of edematous areas in different parts of the gland. This causes compaction of the organ, but does not yet lead to its rupture and release of contents into the abdominal cavity.

The main danger is the duration of the disease and untimely treatment. Advanced disease is often complicated by narrowing of the ducts, which develops against the background of enlargement of the gland and its swelling. In this case, inadequate regulation of the glands of pancreatic juices, spleen and liver occurs. A disruption in the normal functioning of these organs leads to disruption of the formation of glycogen and enzymes of the digestive glands. As a result, the cells of the pancreas are damaged - its epithelium, in particular, the cellular structures that synthesize digestive enzymes. Accordingly, the production of these substances in the body is disrupted, and food is not completely digested, which triggers a number of pathological mechanisms:

* a person's vitamin balance is depleted; * metabolic processes are disrupted; * systematic poisoning occurs with toxic substances formed after digestion, which provokes toxic hepatitis. Gland cells die, turning into a protein-fat substrate; * there is also a threat of inflammatory process in nearby tissues; * the mechanism for removing calcium phosphate salts and bicarbonates from the body is disrupted, causing decompensation of the mineral balance; * there is a need to take an excretory pancreatogram to identify foci of inflammation and the location of cyst formation; * the protein-synthesizing function of the affected gland decreases; * organese sizes are reduced in size; * connective tissue is destroyed;

Understanding how dangerous pathology is in combination with fatty infiltration requires urgent treatment. If this condition persists for a long time, the risk of developing such a serious complication as a gland abscess increases. It is formed as a result of the union of several small pancreatic cysts into a single mediastinum with many heads.

Abcessive pancreatitis is an acute inflammation of the pancreas, which can lead to the development of a pancreatic abscess or the spread of infection through the blood and lymphatic system.

Pancreatitis is a common condition that most often occurs in people over 45 years of age, but can occur at any age. Severe overeating, alcoholism, smoking, stress are the main factors in the occurrence of this inflammation.

The causative agents of the disease are various microbes, viruses, fungi. The development of the disease is provoked by any of the factors that can cause chronic pancreatitis: alcohol abuse, intestinal infection, helminthic infestation, untreated hepatitis, long-term treatment with antibiotics. Pancreatitis can be infectious - caused by certain biological factors and non-infectious. It occurs in the form of acute pancreatitis, chronic type or in the form of an interictal remission state.

Main signs: - pain of varying intensity; - nausea; - attacks of vomiting;

- lack of appetite, aversion to food; - dry mouth, belching; - stool instability; - variability in stool color throughout the day.

In acute cases, the symptoms manifest themselves more strongly. Pain in acute pancreatitis occurs almost continuously for 12 hours or longer. But it is also possible that pain may occur during periods of subsidence. The feces become foul-smelling and the urine darkens. The very appearance of the patient is hopelessly ill. It is characterized by a swollen belly, the color of which takes on an earthy hue. The body is shiny with sweat. In acute pancreatitis, even additional load is dangerous.

Pancretoabscess is a disease caused by the spread of inflammation of the head of the pancreas or retroperitoneal space and infiltration of surrounding tissues. Hematogenous infection in the form of an inflammatory reaction of blood vessels. A characteristic symptom is pain in the left hypochondrium, dry mouth, nausea and vomiting. Diagnosis of acute abdominal pain syndrome - abdominal scanning, laparoscopy, radiography of the abdominal organs with a contrast agent. The basis of treatment is surgery. Most often this is laparotomy or laparoscopic drainage of the abscess. Patients should not be treated at home. Severe acute pancreatitis can lead to a life-threatening condition and, accordingly, transfer a person to the group of patients in need of emergency medical care.

Abdominal pancretitis is an inflammation of the head of the pancreas. At the same time, it contracts more strongly and absorbs secretions from itself, which are oversaturated with enzymes. This disables the entire digestive system, after which the performance of the stomach and intestines decreases. It is worth saying that this disease has many causes, for example, stagnation of bile, alcohol, fatty foods,
