BACKGROUND: In our department, we routinely use a combined exocrine-endocrine function test to evaluate the pancreatic function in chronic pancreatitis i.e. urinary para amino benzoic acid (PABA) recovery and pancreatic polypeptide secretion in response to a meal and glucose tolerance test.
AIM: To study the relationship between changes in morphology and exocrine/endocrine function in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 103 patients with chronic pancreatitis seen by our department for evaluation of pancreatic function between 1989 and 1999, we retrospectively analysed the correlation between morphology (Cambridge-score) and function. Furthermore the differences in presentation, function and morphology between patients with alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis were evaluated.
RESULTS: Significant correlation were found for both PABA recovery and pancreatic polypeptide secretion with morphologic score, respectively r = -0.205 (P = 0.037) and r = -0.209 (P = 0.031), but not with endocrine function. The correlation between morphology and PABA recovery or pancreatic polypeptide secretion was observed in the subgroup with alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis but not in those with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis. Pain is a prominent symptom of chronic pancreatitis. Pain was more frequent and more severe in patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis caused by alcohol or idiopathy.
CONCLUSIONS: Morphology and exocrine function correlate in patients with alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis but not in patients with chronic pancreatitis. When compared to patients with chronic pancreatitis of idiopathic origin, patients with alcoholic origin show differences in presentation and morphology but not in function.
