Pulmonary involvement in chronic pancreatitis.

G Masoero, S Spinaci, W Arossa

    Digestive Diseases and Sciences
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Chronic calcific pancreatitis (CCP) patients show impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity, indicating early lung damage. Ventilatory function remains unaffected, suggesting parenchymal changes like emphysema or fibrosis.

    Platelet Count Does Not Predict Bleeding in Cirrhotic Patients: Results from the PRO-LIVER Study.

    The American journal of gastroenterology·2017

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • The link between acute pancreatitis and lung issues is known.
    • Lung function data for chronic pancreatitis patients is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate lung function in patients with chronic calcific pancreatitis (CCP).
    • To identify potential early lung parenchymal damage in CCP.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study involving 42 CCP patients and 50 controls.
    • Functional, radiological, and clinical investigations were performed.

    Main Results:

    • CCP patients exhibited impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity.
    • No significant differences were found in ventilatory function parameters compared to controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Impaired diffusing capacity suggests early lung parenchymal damage in CCP.
    • This damage may manifest as emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis.
