Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar las características de la Pancreatitis Crónica (PC). Revisión bibliográfica: La pancreatitis crónica (PC) es una enfermedad caracterizada por un síndrome de síntomas y manifestaciones clínicas relacionadas con anomalías funcionales que se desarrolla como resultado de fibrosis y atrofia glandular relacionada con inflamación aguda y crónica. Las funciones exocrinas y endocrinas se pierden, lo que a menudo conduce a un dolor crónico, que es el síntoma principal. Su prevalencia generalmente se estima en 30-50 por cada 100.000 personas en todo el mundo. La etiología es multifactorial, aunque la PC ocurre con mayor frecuencia debido a agresiones ambientales, con un mayor riesgo en pacientes con predisposición genética o anatómica. Consideraciones finales: La pancreatitis crónica es un proceso fibroinflamatorio progresivo del páncreas que provoca un daño estructural permanente y conduce a un deterioro de la función exocrina y endocrina. El dolor es el problema clínico más importante en la pancreatitis crónica, ocurre en el 80% al 90% de los pacientes y, a menudo, es incapacitante. Su manejo se realiza con analgésicos no opiáceos y opiáceos, y el tratamiento endoscópico y quirúrgico se reserva para pacientes en los que ha fracasado la terapia farmacológica.
