Status and effect of pancreatic enzymes on intestinal health and energy spent at rest in patients with chronic pancreatitis as compared to healthy controls

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Other chronic pancreatitis,
Registration Number
CTRI/2020/12/029888
Lead Sponsor
ICMR
Brief Summary

This is is an interventional study. we will see the status of and  effect of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy on gut microbiota and resting energy expenditure in patients with chronic pancreatitis .

This study would assess the status of following parameters in patients with chronic pancreatitis versus healthy controls:-  Gut microbiota

-   Resting energy expenditure

-   Levels of inflammatory cytokines

-   Small intestinal bacterial over growth

-   Body composition

-   Quality of life
