The effect of steroid therapy on pancreatic exocrine function in autoimmune pancreatitis
Background/objectives
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a steroid-responsive inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Few studies investigated pancreatic exocrine function (PEF) in patients suffering from AIP and no definitive data are available on the effect of steroids in PEF recovery. Aim of the study is the evaluation of severe pancreatic insufficiency (sPEI) prevalence in AIP at clinical onset and after steroid treatment.
Methods
312 Patients with diagnosis of AIP between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2020 were identified in our prospectively maintained register. Patients with a pre-steroid treatment dosage of fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) were included. Changes in PEF were evaluated in patients with available pre- and post-treatment FE (between 3 and 12 months after steroid).
Results
One-hundred-twenty-four patients were included, with a median FE-1 of 122 (Q1-Q3: 15–379) μg/g at baseline. Fifty-nine (47.6 %) had sPEI (FE-1<100 μg/g). Univariable analysis identified type 1 AIP, radiological involvement of the head of the pancreas (diffuse involvement of the pancreas or focal involvement of the head), weight loss, age and diabetes as associated with a greater risk of sPEI. However, at multivariable analysis, only the involvement of the head of the pancreas was identified as independent risk factor for sPEI. After steroids, mean FE-1 changed from 64 (15–340) to 202 (40–387) μg/g (P = 0.058) and head involvement was the only predictor of improvement of sPEI.
Conclusion
The inflammatory involvement of the head of the pancreas is associated with PEF severity, as well as PEF improvement after treatment with steroids in patients with AIP.
期刊介绍:
Pancreatology is the official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP), the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) and several national societies and study groups around the world. Dedicated to the understanding and treatment of exocrine as well as endocrine pancreatic disease, this multidisciplinary periodical publishes original basic, translational and clinical pancreatic research from a range of fields including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology as well as endocrinology, immunology and epidemiology. Readers can expect to gain new insights into pancreatic physiology and into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic approaches and prognosis of pancreatic diseases. The journal features original articles, case reports, consensus guidelines and topical, cutting edge reviews, thus representing a source of valuable, novel information for clinical and basic researchers alike.
