I Had A EUS And Am Confused About What The Results Mean, Could You Please Explain It ?

I have pancreatic insufficiency and was told it was from chronic pancreatitis . I had a EUS and am confused about what the results mean. Could someone please explain it to me. This is what the report says: Pancreatic parenchymal abnormalities were noted in the entire pancreas . These consisted of hyperechoic strands, hyperechoic foci and lobularity particularly in the head and uncinate. The body and tail had hyperechoic strands. The pancreatic duct had a beaded endosonographic appearance and was irregularly contoured in the pancratic head. The pancreatic duct measured up to 1.3 mm in diameter. Impression: Pancreatic parenchymal and ductal abnormalities indeterminant for chronic pancreatitis. Is it chronic pancreatitis?

Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
The findings of your us examination are consistent with chronic pancreatitis which means a long standing infection of pancreas which helps in secretion of digestive juices in our body.The treatment is not much successful so concentrate more on having a light fat free diet.
