Pancreas/ Pancreatology

The pancreas is an organ placed beneath the stomach in the belly. The pancreas is made up of two basic organs: the exocrine and endocrine pancreas. The digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine pancreas are responsible for the breakdown of fat, protein, and carbs in our diet. Insulin and glucagon are hormones generated by the endocrine pancreas that help regulate blood sugar levels.

Pancreatic problems include acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, cystic pancreas tumours, and autoimmune pancreatitis. Acute and chronic pancreatitis are quite common in India, and pancreatic cancer looks to be on the rise as well.
