  • Title: [Diarrhea caused by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in adults].
    Author: Bernades P.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1989 Dec 11; 39(29):2610-2. PubMed ID: 2602894.
    Abstract:
    Diarrhea induced by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in relation to chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or partial pancreatic excision is generally moderate without modification of the nutritional status of the patient. However, when the malabsorption of lipids is severe diarrhoea with steatorrhea can lead to an important weight loss. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is managed with diet and pancreatic enzyme replacement. In patients with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis, abstinence from alcohol is the most important measure. The new enteric coating pancreatic extracts have a good efficacy and a better acceptability.
