Chronic pancreatitis slowly destroys the pancreas, it can not pass by itself. Complications of this inflammation are very serious: these are damage to the gland tissue, bleeding, the formation of a false cyst with fluid and tissue remnants. In addition, pancreatic enzymes and toxins can enter the bloodstream, which threatens to damage the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
The most severe, both in diagnosis and in terms of treatment, are bleedings from the main pancreatic duct, observed in chronic calculous pancreatitis.
In acute pancreatitis, massive bleeding occurs rarely, but they can lead to the death of the patient. Such bleeding can occur in the retroperitoneal space, abdominal cavity and lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. They are caused by an artery wall of vessels located near the pancreas, including a large splenic artery.
The attack of acute pancreatitis is always unexpected, it lasts a short time, but the enzymes of the inflamed gland that get into the bloodstream are very dangerous for all other organs. If there is a hemorrhage in the pancreas, the situation carries a threat to the life of the patient.
Bleeding in pancreatic cancer
Bleeding in malignant tumors, the site of which is the stomach, are clear evidence of the development of new pathological formations. Such violations of the digestive tract indicate a critical stage of the disease, and require immediate surgical intervention in the patient's body.
Bleeding in pancreatic cancer is parenchymal in nature, which is characterized by the regular intake of blood from tumorous vessels located outside the mucous membrane. Abundant hemorrhage is observed in patients suffering from a ulcerative form of cancer, the symptoms of which are favorable for the separation of the walls of the vessels. Massive hemorrhages are most typical for necrosis and leiomyomas and are considered the most dangerous, since in the absence of timely assistance from experienced medics, can lead to severe consequences for the human body and even death. However, as practice shows, the development of bleeding in pancreatic cancer is the first sign of the patient's life-extinction and in many cases results in a fatal outcome.
