Disease Features agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of pancreas
Absence or low individual and public risk
Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of pancreas - what does this mean
Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of pancreas are conditions that occur when the pancreas does not form properly during embryonic development. in agenesis, the pancreas is completely absent, in aplasia, the pancreas is present but not functional, and in hypoplasia, the pancreas is present but underdeveloped.
What happens during the disease - agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of pancreas
Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of the pancreas are congenital disorders caused by genetic mutations during embryonic development. this leads to a failure of the pancreas to form normally, resulting in decreased production of insulin, glucagon, and other hormones, leading to a wide variety of symptoms, such as hypoglycemia, diabetes, and digestive problems.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, CT Scan, MRI
- Blood Tests: C-Peptide, Glucose, Amylase, Lipase
- Endoscopy: Endoscopic Ultrasound, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
- Biopsy: Pancreatic Biopsy
- Genetic Tests: Genetic Analysis
- Pancreatic Function Tests: Fecal Elastase, Fecal Fat
- Hormone Tests: Glucagon, Insulin
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To restore pancreatic function and improve patient's overall health.
- Provide nutritional support to replace the missing pancreatic enzymes.
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Monitor the patient's glucose levels and adjust insulin dosage accordingly.
- Perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to assess the pancreas.
- Conduct imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the pancreas.
- Perform surgery to remove damaged or diseased pancreatic tissue.
- Administer pancreatic enzymes to help with digestion.
- Encourage healthy lifestyle changes such as regular physical activity and a balanced diet.
- Provide psychological support to help the patient cope with the condition.
18 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of pancreas - Prevention
The best way to prevent agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of the pancreas is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including avoiding smoking, eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. it is also important to receive routine medical check-ups to detect any early signs of these conditions. genetic testing may also be beneficial for those who have a family history of these conditions.
