Customer question:
What are the signs of a fatty pancreas? Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
Fat accumulated around the pancreas is known as intrapancreatic fat. Excessive alcohol consumption is the most common cause of a fatty pancreas, as alcohol is broken down into toxic substances.
Obesity or being overweight can also cause fat to deposit around organs such as the pancreas and infiltration of this excess fat into the pancreas. In some rare cases, a fatty pancreas is present from birth. In addition, a poor metabolic system that causes high cholesterol can also cause a fatty pancreas.
Although there are no direct signs and symptoms of a fatty pancreas, diseases caused by a fatty pancreas have many severe symptoms, such as:
- pain in the upper abdomen
- rapid heartbeat
- the feeling of nausea and pressure
- in some cases, vomiting is also common
- high body temperature
- you may feel tenderness when touching the abdominal wall
- changes in the appearance and smell of stool
