Cholecystokinin is the hormone, which stimulates the gall bladder. It increases the secretions of pancreas. Also called as pancreozymin.
A pancreatic enzyme count of 6000 is significantly elevated and may indicate a condition such as pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or a blockage in the pancreatic duct. Elevated enzyme levels often suggest inflammation or damage to the pancreas, leading to the release of enzymes into the bloodstream. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.
Yes, pancreatic enzymes can potentially cause urticaria, although it is rare. Urticaria, or hives, may occur as an allergic reaction to these enzymes, especially if they are derived from animal sources. Additionally, individuals with certain sensitivities or allergies may experience skin reactions when exposed to pancreatic enzyme supplements. If urticaria occurs, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
gallbladder stones, obstruct the flow of the pancreatic enzymes. since cholecystokinins helps activate the bile from the gallbladder, once it is obstructed, the cholecystokinins, activates the pancreatic enzymes as well causing enzymes to become activated inside the pancreatic tissues then auto-digestion takes place(pancreatic enzymes ingests itself), in a normal functioning pancreas, enzyme has to remain inactive until it reaches the small intestine, where an actual digestion takes place.

Morphine stimulates the release of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone)
When the pancreatic duct is obstructed, it can lead to the accumulation of digestive enzymes within the pancreas, resulting in inflammation, known as pancreatitis. This obstruction may also cause the pancreas to become damaged over time, impairing its ability to produce insulin and digestive enzymes. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as infection or pancreatic necrosis. Additionally, the blockage can affect digestion and blood sugar regulation.
cause spasm of the pancreatic ducts
Pancreatic pseudocyst is a type of pancreatic fluid collection. There are many different types of pancreatic fluid collections: simple pancreatic cyst (congenital), Walled off Pancreatic Necrosis ( WOPN ), acute pseudocyst, chronic pseudocyst, pancreatic abscess, and cystic neoplasms, for example.
No. anti-diuretic hormone decreases urination. Alocohol decreases anti-diuretic hormone and causes increased urination.
Pancreatic cancer is ranked the 14th leading cause of cancer in the Philippines. It is the 10th leading cause of death due to cancer.
