Clinical Trial Summary

Alcohol is the common precipitating factor for both cirrhosis of liver as well as alcohol related chronic pancreatitis. However, in real life clinical setting, clinicians do not frequently see many cases of symptomatic pancreatitis in patients who present with features of cirrhosis of liver. On the contrary, in some patients presenting with alcohol related chronic pancreatitis, evidence of cirrhosis of liver is observed on imaging without other clinical features of cirrhosis.


Clinical Trial Description

The data on exact incidence of chronic pancreatitis in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis is scarce and there are no data to support or refute as to whether the incidence is same between alcoholic cirrhosis or cirrhosis due to any other cause. The co-existence of cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis in alcoholics vary between 0.04 - 6%. However, till now no study has been conducted to evaluate the incidence of CP in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis of liver. In this study, the investigators propose to assess the incidence of chronic pancreatitis in patients of ethanol related cirrhosis of liver and compare the same with patients of cryptogenic liver cirrhosis and hepatitis B and C related liver cirrhosis. This would be one of the few studies till date, to use EUS as the diagnostic modality. The patients of cirrhosis would be categorized based on their Child Pugh criteria into three categories. All these patients would undergo EUS at the Institute and chronic pancreatitis screening would be considered positive if they fulfill the Rosemont criteria for chronic pancreatitis. ;
