СORRECTION OF MALNUTRITION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PANCREATITIS

Aim: To estimate the frequency of occurrence malnutrition and efficacy its correction in chronic pancreatitis (CP).

Materials and methods: 148 patients were examined. Group I included 71 people with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (CAP); group II — 77 patients with chronic obstructive pancreatitis (COP). Trophological status (TS) was investigated by criteria of V.M. Luft. Lymphocytes, pancreatic amylase, lipase, total protein, albumin, urine diastase and faecal elastase-1 were investigated before and after treatment. Two treatment options were used: combination therapy (CT, (Mezym-forte 10500 USP/day and pharmaconutrient Ensure 2 200 ml/day)) and high-dose pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy ((HD PERT), Kreon 120000 USP/day) for 10 weeks. 62 patients received HD PERT: 24 patients with CAP and 38 patients with COP; CT — 86 patients: 47 and 39, respectively.

Results: The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with CP was 92% (n=136). Lymphopenia was determined in 44%, hypoproteinemia-in 11,5%, hypoalbuminemia-in 54%. 12 (8%) patients did not have malnutrition. In the group CAP: mild malnutrion was established in44, moderate — in 20, severe — 2, eutrophia — 6; in the group COP: mild malnutrion — in 33, moderate — in 37, severe — 0, eutrophia — 6. Aftertreatment in the group CAP: malnutrion moderate — in 7, mild — 58, eutrophia — 7, in the COP: malnutrion moderate — 37, mind — 31, eutrophy — 8.

Conclusions: Malnutrition is frequent symptom complex in patients with CP. The severity of malnutrition is more severy in CAP. The most effective treatment malnutrition was CT in patients with CAP. HD PERT is indicated to correct exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
