What is the cause of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency?

Solution

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency:

  1. It is the deficiency of digestive enzymes when they are not formed by the pancreas.
  2. The Sphincter of Oddi, which controls the flow of pancreatic and bile fluids from the bile duct into the small intestines is dysfunctional.
  3. Issues with the pancreas' endocrine activity, including insulin dysregulation, are caused by a high-refined carbohydrate diet and diabetes.
  4. Gallstones clog the bile duct, causing a halt in the flow of pancreatic secretions.
  5. Micronutrient deficiency and consumption of a lot of calories are also the causes of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
  6. Insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, and diabetes are all linked to each other.
