- Title
Alcohol and the Pancreas II. PANCREATIC MORPHOLOGY OF ADVANCED ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS.
- Authors
Noronha, M.; Bordalo, O.; Dreiling, D. A.
- Abstract
The histopathology of advanced chronic alcoholic pancreatitis is dominated by cellular degeneration, atrophy and fibrosis. Sequential changes in the histopathology of alcoholic pancreatic disease has been defined and traced from initial injury to end-stage disease. These sequential histopathologies have been correlated with clinical syndrome and secretory patterns. The data are more consistent with a toxic-metabolic pathogenesis of alcoholic pancreatitis than the previous Big Duct and Small Duct hypotheses.
