Trattamento delle pancreatiti acute e croniche nel gatto. (Italian)

Management of acute and chronic pancreatitis in cats. (English)

Pancreatitis are quite common in cats. Management of severe acute pancreatitis requires hospitalization. The treatment involves fluid therapy, analgesics, antiemetics and early nutritional support. Chronic cases are more commonly moderate and are associated with concurrent diseases (cholangitis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.). Management of chronic pancreatitis involves the treatment of concurrent conditions. Use of antiinflammatory or immunosuppressive treatment is an interesting therapeutic option.

La pancreatite è una patologia abbastanza comune nei gatti. La gestione delle forme acute può richiedere il ricovero ospedaliero nei casi più gravi. Il trattamento prevede fluidoterapia, analgesia, somministrazione di antiemetici e supporto nutrizionale precoce. Le forme croniche sono spesso più moderate e associate a patologie concomitanti (colangite, enteropatia cronica ecc.), dal cui trattamento dipende la gestione della pancreatite. L’uso di farmaci antinfiammatori e immunosoppressori rappresenta un interessante iter terapeutico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
