Pancreatic cancer: Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. Common symptoms include Pain in the upper abdomen, significant weight loss, Painless jaundice, steatorrhea, elevated blood sugar levels. Treatment of pancreatic cancer depends on the stage of the cancer. The Whipple procedure is the most common surgical treatment for cancers involving the head of the pancreas. It can only be performed if the patient is likely to survive major surgery and if the cancer is localized without invading local structures. Other treatment available is chemotherapy.
Chronic pancreatitis:
Wilson’s disease: Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissues. The excess copper damages the liver and nervous system. Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder. It causes the body to take in and keep too much copper. The deposits of copper cause tissue damage, death of the tissues, and scarring, which causes the affected organs to stop working correctly. Wilson’s disease typically appears in people under 40 years old. In children, the symptoms begin to show by age 4. The goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of copper in the tissues. This is done by a procedure called chelation which can bind to copper and help remove it through the kidneys or gut. The following medications may be used Penicillamine, Trientine, Zinc acetate. Vitamin E supplements may also be used. Foods to avoid include: chocolate, dried fruit, mushrooms, nuts, shellfish. A liver transplant may be considered in cases where the liver is severely damaged by the disease.
Hepatitis/C:
Cirrhosis of the liver: Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrosis, scar tissue and regenerative nodules (lumps that occur as a result of a process in which damaged tissue is regenerated)
Gall stones: Gallstones are crystalline bodies formed within the body by accretion or concretion of normal or abnormal bile components. Gallstones can occur anywhere within the biliary tree, including the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Cholelithiasis is the presence of stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts. A patient may experience intense pain in the upper abdominal region, pain in the back, ordinarily between the shoulder blades, or pain under the right shoulder. In some cases, the pain develops in the lower region of the abdomen, nearer to the pelvis, but this is less common. Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) has a 99% chance of eliminating the recurrence of cholelithiasis.It can be can be temporarily reduced by drinking several glasses of water when experiencing gallstone pain.
Tuberculosis of the intestine: Symptoms of this disease include fever, nausea, flatulence ("gas"), food intolerance, abdominal cramps in lower right abdomen, abdomen distends after eating, weight loss. Anti-Tuberculosis medications are available in four drug combinations that include Isoniazid, Rifampin, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide for 6 to 9 months.
Nausea: Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort in the upper stomach with an urge to vomit. The most common cause is gastroenteritis (a stomach infection) or food poisoning but nausea also frequently occurs as a medication side effect and in pregnancy. Acupuncture is thought to be effective for the prevention of post operative nausea and vomiting.[11]
Diarrhea: Diarrhea is the condition of having three or more loose or liquid bowel mthat feces is passed less frequently.
Autoimmune hepatitis: Autoimmune hepatitis is a progressive inflammation of the liver that has been identified by a number of different names, including autoimmune chronic active hepatitis (CAH), idiopathic chronic active hepatitis, and lupoid hepatitis. The reason for this inflammation is not certain, but it is associated with an abnormality of the body's immune system and is often related to the production of antibodies that can be detected by blood teachieved.
Heart burn: Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest, just behind the breastbone. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is the most common cause of heartburn. The treatment of heartburn depends on the underlying cause.
