Let the young man stay in the hospital
Xiao Wu is 25 years old this year. After work, he likes to have snacks and chat with friends. In his words, he is in good health and rarely catches a cold, let alone hospitalized. Just a few days ago, after working overtime, Xiao Wu invited a few good friends to a seafood stall for a late night snack. Enjoying the delicious seafood while drinking chilled beer, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, Xiao Wu began to experience stomach pain. At first, he felt like he had eaten too much and couldn't digest it, so he endured it and passed away. But in the latter half of the night, the pain grew stronger and stronger, and Xiao Wu was sweating profusely, unable to even straighten his body. He then went to the emergency department of Hangzhou First People's Hospital for treatment.
After understanding the medical history and combining physical examination, Zhao Xue, the deputy director of the emergency department who received the consultation, performed a blood amylase and abdominal CT examination on Xiao Wu. I didn't expect his blood amylase to reach 1534 U/L, which is more than 10 times higher than the normal value. At the same time, abdominal CT showed pancreatic edema and surrounding exudate like changes, diagnosed as acute pancreatitis.
Fortunately, after active fluid replacement, severe monitoring, and supportive treatment, Xiao Wu's condition gradually stabilized and he was transferred to a regular ward.
Seafood paired with beer as a trigger for acute pancreatitis
Why did you get pancreatitis without eating particularly greasy food? Xiao Wu felt very surprised.
Regarding this, Zhao Xue stated that many people know that greasy foods such as fish and meat can cause pancreatitis, but they are unaware that classic late night combinations like "seafood with beer" are also "pancreatitis gift packages". Every summer, the emergency department of a hospital in Hangzhou receives many patients with acute pancreatitis. They often experience persistent symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. In severe cases, they may also cause complications such as pancreatic necrosis and abdominal infections, which can even be life-threatening.
Zhao Xue introduced that the pancreas is an important organ for digesting food, located behind the stomach. Drinking alcohol is a major cause of acute pancreatitis. "After drinking alcohol, it will be absorbed into the bloodstream and then metabolized by the liver. However, if we drink too much, the liver will be overloaded and unable to metabolize alcohol normally. At this time, alcohol will stimulate the pancreas, causing pancreatitis. In addition, alcohol can also lead to insufficient blood supply to the pancreas, exacerbating the development of inflammation."
Eating seafood is also an important cause of acute pancreatitis. "Seafood contains a lot of high-fat animal oil, and eating too much can stimulate the pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice. If we eat too much at once, the amount of pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas will exceed the amount we need for normal digestion, leading to the accumulation of pancreatic juice and causing acute pancreatitis." Zhao Xue said that like Xiao Wu, who eats and drinks big, works together, and does not exercise restraint, the consequences can be imagined.
Prevent pancreatitis,
You're going to do this
"There is no clear age for high incidence of acute pancreatitis, but people with cholecystitis, gallstones, obesity, and irregular dietary habits are considered high-risk groups." Zhao Xue said that although pancreatitis is very dangerous, it often occurs after a large amount of food or alcohol consumption, so it can be prevented through lifestyle and dietary control.
To prevent the occurrence of acute pancreatitis, attention should be paid to the following points:
Moderate drinking: Men should not exceed two glasses per day, and women should not exceed one glass.
Reasonable diet: When eating seafood, it is important to control your appetite and not eat too much oily food at once.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: People who smoke and drink are more likely to develop acute pancreatitis, so it is important to quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to protect pancreatic health.
Timely treatment: Patients with cholecystitis and gallstones should receive timely treatment to avoid the occurrence of biliary pancreatitis. Timely physical examinations should be conducted for individuals with high blood pressure, high blood pressure, and high blood pressure, in order to control their weight and diet.
Increase exercise: Moderate exercise can improve blood circulation in the pancreas and reduce the risk of acute pancreatitis.
