Overview

Natural History

  • The natural history of pain is highly variable and mostly involves intermittent pain attacks that decrease or resolve over 5-25 years while a few patients may have chronic pain.
  • The average duration from the onset of symptoms until the establishment of the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in alcoholics is 62 months and 81 months in non-alcoholics.
  • In alcohol-induced pancreatitis, the pain severity may be reduced by cessation of alcohol intake

Complications

Prognosis

Some patients with chronic pancreatitis often look very sick, while others don't appear to be unhealthy at all. Considerable weight loss, due to malabsorption, is evident in a high percentage of patients, and can continue to be a health problem as the condition progresses.
