Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas with irreversible damage of pancreatic tissueexocrine and endocrine insufficiency

AUTOIMMUNE PANCREATITIS - chronic pancreatitis with distinct clinical, serological, histological and imaging features and it is involved in hyper- IgG4 group of diseases.

Antibodies in patientswith AIP % Okazaki et al. J. Gastroent. 2001
CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR AIP 2006 • Diffuse or segmental narrowing of the MPD with irregular wall and diffuse or localized enlargement of the pancreas by imaging studies, such as abdominal US, CT, and magnetic resonance • High serum γ-globulin, IgG, or IgG4, or the presence of autoantibodies such as antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor • Marked interlobular fibrosis and prominent infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the periductal area, occasionally with lymphoid follicles in the pancreas Diagnosis of AIP is established when criterion 1 and criterion 2 and/or 3 are fulfilled. However, it is necessary to exclude malignant diseases.
AUTOIMMUNE PANCREATITIS - SUBTYPES TYP 1 – LYMPHOPLASMATIC SCLEROSING PANCREATITIS – LPSP - PERIDUCTAL LYMPHOPLASMATIC INFILTRATE - HIGH AMMOUNT IgG4 - POSITIVE PLASMA CELLS - SWIRLING FIBROSIS - OBLITERATIVE VENULITIS TYP 2 – IDIOPATHIC DUCT-CENTRIC PANCREATITIS – IDCP (“non-alcoholic duct destructive pancreatitis“) - DUCTAL EPITHELIAL GRANULOCYTIC INFILTRATION DUCTAL DAMAGE OBLITERATION

CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS OF TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PACREATITIS Clinical presentations of type I AIP Pancreatic Predominantly extra-pancreatic Acute Post-acute/late Biliary stricture, sclerosing cholangitis Obstructive jaundice Persistent mass Interstitial nephritis, renal failure Steatorrhea Pancreatitis Calcification, atrophy Retroperitoneal fibrosis with complications (e.g., ureteral obstruction) Steatorrhea Park, D.H. 2009

AUTOIMMUNE PANCREATITIS IN PATIENTS WITH “IDIOPATHIC CHRONIC PANCREATITIS“ 66 PATIENTS WITH IDIOPATHIC CHRONIC PANCREATITIS /ICP/ AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE WAS PRESENT IN 10 PATIENTS (UC 5 pts, PSC 2 pst, Sjögren sy 1 pts, Hashimoto´s thyroiditis 1 pts, Graves disease 1 pts) POSITIVITY OF BIOCHEMICAL AND CLINICAL PARAMETRES – IN 40% CONCLUSION: CLINICAL OR BIOCHEMICAL AUTOIMMUNE STIGMATA ARE PRESENT IN 40% pts WITH ICP, AUTOIMMUNE MECHANISMS MAY BE FREQUENT IN ICP.

CHRONIC PANCREATITIS IN CHILDREN – AUTOIMMUNE ETIOLOGY? In the set of 31 children (age 3-18 years) • markers of AIP were found in 17 pts (41,5%) • Genetic markers 10 pts (32,5%) Oracz G. et al, Clin Gastroent Hepat 2006
Steroid therapy in patientswith AIP • Initial doses 30 – 40 mg per day for 2 – 4 weeks • The steroid therapy could be stopped after the period of 6 – 12 months. • Monitoring of laboratory and clinical symptoms are essential. • When AIP still appears after steroid therapy --- re-evaluation should be carried out taking pancreatic CARCINOMA into consideration! J.Jpn.Pacreas Soc., 2002
THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS IN PATIENTS WITH AIP • MAYO CLINIC – 11 WEEKS STEROIDS WITH TAPPERING DOSE 5 mg / WEEK • KIM – 1 mg/kg FOR 4 WEEKS AND TAPPERING THE DOSE 5 mg/WEEK • FRULLONI – 0,5 mg/kg FOR 4 WEEKS AND TAPPERING THE DOSE 5 mg/WEEK UNEFFECTIVE THERAPY – PANCREATIC CANCER

COMPARISON OF SUBJECTS WITH AIP AND PANCREATIC CANCER Ghazele A. et al. 2007
CONCLUSION AND PRACTICE POINTS • AIP IS NOT FREQUENT DISEASE IN EUROPE, MORE FREQUENT IN ASIA. • CLINICAL SYMPTOMS ARE USUALLY MILD (MOSTLY ABDOMINAL “DISCOMFORT“ WITHOUT PAIN ATTACKS) • IN CT, EUS OR US-DIFFUSE ENLARGEMENT OF PANCREAS (sausage pancreas), IN NMR-CP OR ERCP IRREGULAR NARROWING OF THE MAIN PANCREATIC DUCT ARE TYPICAL • PRESENCE NON-SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES IN BLOOD SERUM AND INCREASED LEVEL OF IgG AND IgG4 IN SERUM AND TISSUE • ASSOCIATION WITH OTHER AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE-TYP1 AIP • PANCREATIC CALCIFICATIONS AND/OR CYSTOIDS ARE NOT FREQUENT • THERAPY WITH STEROIDS IS EFFECTIVE • IN DIF. DG DIAGNOSIS AIP VS PANCREATIC CANCER – EUS GUIDED BIOPSY IS FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURE
