The immune inflammation of the pancreas is a special case of chronic pancreatitis that responds greatly to cortisone, but to this day, the diagnosis of this disease is one of the difficult cases, so that some of the means of detecting the disease is to give the patient cortisone and monitor the extent of the patient’s improvement, and it was published in the journal Gut A medical study was conducted at the Korean University of Ulsan, where all patients likely to have pancreatic autoimmune disease in the years 2004 to 2007 were identified, who numbered 22 patients, as they met the specifications of the disease by CT scan and did not meet the specifications of pancreatic cancer, and then gave them A dose (determined according to body weight) of cortisone on a daily basis for a period of two weeks, after which each patient evaluates the extent of response to cortisone by means of a CT scan as well, where it monitors the extent to which the volume of inflation in the pancreas shrinks. The patient has undergone a partial pancreatectomy, and after following up on all cases and matching the results with the final outcome of the study through laboratory samples or prolonged follow-up by detection Clinical and CT scan, the medical team found that 15 cases that responded to cortisone were immune inflammation of the pancreas, while all 7 cases that did not respond to cortisone were pancreatic cancer and the tumor was completely removed, so the medical team believes that in such cases cortisone can be used as a means Helps differentiate between pancreatic autoimmune inflammation and pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
