BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: In chronic pancreatitis (CP), progressive fibrosis of the pancreas leads to exocrine and endocrine insufficiency and, finally, to pancreatic burnout. Alcohol consumption is associated with fibrosis in the pancreas and the liver, and the activation of stellate cells plays a central role in the induction of fibrosis in both organs. However, the relationship between pancreatic burnout and liver cirrhosis (LC) is still poorly understood in patients with alcoholic CP (ACP).
METHODS: We performed a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study with 537 CP patients. We analyzed the clinical presence of early and advanced pancreatic burnout and stated LC in cases of typical alterations in histology, liver stiffness measurement, cross-sectional imaging, or ultrasound. We analyzed further clinical parameters.
RESULTS: The frequency of advanced pancreatic burnout was 6.5% for ACP (20/306) and 4% for non-ACP (8/206; p = 0.20; χ2 test). Advanced pancreatic burnout was not associated with the amount of alcohol consumption (p = 0.34) but with the disease duration (p = 0.0470) and rate of calcification (p = 0.0056). Furthermore, advanced pancreatic burnout was associated with LC (p < 0.0001) but cannot be explained by the amount of alcohol consumption. In ACP with alcohol consumption >80 g/day, an isolated LC was significantly more frequently detectable (14%, without pancreatic burnout) than an isolated advanced pancreatic burnout (1%, without LC). These results were confirmed by multivariable analyses.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified a close association between LC and pancreatic burnout. The disease duration positively correlates with the development of pancreatic burnout. The liver seems to be more vulnerable to alcohol than the pancreas.
