Acute Pancreatitis refers to short-term inflammation of the pancreas leading to symptoms like acute abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, etc. It is diagnosed using blood tests and radiological images (Ultrasound, CT scan, MRCP, etc). Causes include gallstones, high triglycerides, alcohol abuse, and certain medications.
Chronic Pancreatitis is a long-standing inflammation of the pancreas that is progressive in nature. Symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, steatorrhea, and weight loss. Diagnosis is established using CT scan, MRCP, and blood tests.
Alcohol use is attributed as the main factor. Other factors include genetic mutation, malnutrition, oxidant stress, and trace element deficiency. Approximately 20% of cases are idiopathic.
The diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis is typically based on tests of pancreatic structure and function. Serum amylase and lipase levels may be moderately elevated. A gastroenterologist assesses the patient's clinical, pathological, and radiological status.
Acute attacks of Pancreatitis are managed by pain killers, IV fluids, multivitamins, and complete rest. ERCP and surgery might be recommended if blockage is found. Patients are also prescribed pancreatic enzymes with each meal to aid digestion.
The disease may impact the patient’s psychological and emotional well-being. Constant or recurring pain can cause distress, anxiety, and depression. Pancreatitis can lead to diabetes, cancer, disability, and even death.
After a thorough diagnosis, patients are called to the Padaav center for initial residential treatment. The duration may vary based on symptom severity (minimum three weeks), but Ayurvedic treatment lasts one year from the start. Patients follow a customized diet, lifestyle, and herbo-mineral Ayurvedic formulations under continuous monitoring by qualified staff.
One attendant may accompany the patient for residential treatment. Meals for the attendant will be provided, and no visitors are allowed within the campus.
