Suggest treatment for chronic pancreatitis with calcification in the CBD
Patient: Dear Doctor, My father in law got an ultrasound done recently as he had acute pain in his abdomen and back, which said that he had chronic pancreatitis with calcification in the CBD, he also has a problem of passing frequent abnormal stools since the last two days, which has somewhat been relieved since yesterday as i gave him three doses of creon 25000 units, please suggest what should we do now. Doctor: HI. A proper history, clinical examination, investigations as per these findings alone can lead to a proper diagnosis . This is most important to lead to a proper management/ treatment.You have to consult a Gastroenterologist who can perform ERCP- remove the stones and pass a stent...This is therapeutic and helps a lot. If he is taking alcohol, he has to stop ..Continue creon with food. He also has to avoid all foods and beverages , which he must have observed that they increase the problems.
