Definition. Chronic pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas in which recurrent episodes of inflammation lead to replacement of the pancreatic parenchyma with fibrotic connective tissue . Consequently, the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas are progressively lost. Further characteristic complications include: pseudocysts
Chronic pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas in which recurrent inflammatory episodes result in replacement of pancreatic parenchyma by fibrous connective tissue. This fibrotic reorganization of the pancreas leads to a progressive exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
