No acute pancreatitis but reduced exocrine pancreatic function at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children

Abstract: Background Insulitis in type 1 diabetes (T1D) seems to be both mild and rather rare, and immune cells are found also in the exocrine pancreas, which often is small. We wanted to see whether clinical pancreatitis at diagnosis of T1D in children is a commonly missed diagnosis. Methods Clinical symptoms suggesting pancreatitis were investigated in a retrospective case‐control study in 191 newly diagnosed T1D patients (105 boys, 86 girls) with age at onset 0.2 to 18 (mean = 10.05, SD = 4.71, median = 10.36) years,… Show more

“…Exocrine pancreas dysfunction is commonly accepted as a feature of type 1 diabetes, as evidence from multiple independent studies have shown decreased levels of pancreatic enzymes [15][16][17][18][27][28][29][30]. In this study, we demonstrate that impaired exocrine function, resulting in lower levels of circulating P-amylase and lipase, can be detected long before the onset of clinical symptoms in at-risk adult individuals, but not in children.…”

“…Subclinical exocrine dysfunction was detected in T1D as early as 1943 (1), with numerous confirmations in all age groups (2)(3)(4)(5). The exocrine pancreas comprises greater than 95% of the pancreas volume and magnetic resonance imaging shows that the volume decreases stepwise from healthy controls, to first-degree relatives, to first-degree relatives with islet autoimmunity (IA), to individuals with recent-onset T1D and those with longer duration T1D (6,7).…”

“…There could be several reasons for this. One is some children with ARP had T1DM and may have coexisting exocrine pancreatic disease as previously described (42,43). Another possibility is the diiculty in identifying EPI.…”
