Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Diabetes Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
The inflammatory diseases of the pancreas represent an important cause of mortality worldwide and in Romania, so that making some clinical and imaging correlations between these disorders and disturbances of the carbohydrate metabolism is needed in order to identify the groups of patients with high risk, among which we mention the group of patients with type 2 diabetes. The patients with type 2 diabetes have a triple risk of developing acute pancreatitis. The hypertriglyceridemia is frequently met in the diabetic status as well as in alcoholism, representing one of the causes of the pancreatitis. The frequent association with obesity, hypertension, and microangyopathy – wich represent characteristic features of type 2 diabetes – is also a risk for acute pancreatisis. Medical imaging – ultrasonography, computer tomography and MRI, along with clinical and laboratory methods- represents one of the main methods of diagnosing pancreatic diseases. During the recent years, the development in the field of medical technology and imaging methods of investigation, along with the use of the contrast agent, allow early diagnosis of acute pancreatisis and make a better staging by.
