Suggest Treatment For Atrophy Of Pancreas

Hi a cousins husband had abdominal pain and went to see his dr. They did a CT, and endoscopy. Saw pancreas was atrophied. Dr. felt had been this way for 20 years. A1c Hemoglobin level elevated to 7. Hasn t seen a specialty dr. yet. No previous problems. Not a big drinker, etc. no Nausea , no vomiting, no wt loss. he has essential tremors. Who should he see, and would an other test help see if other organs are involved. or if pancreatic ducts are blocked, etc. I m A NURSE, BUT THIS IS NOT MY AREA.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Very true, we have to confirm the diagnosis.
The best ways are::
MRCP and Endoscopic USG.
This will confirm the diagnosis.
The blood tests are not of importance in chronic cases.
You have to see:
Gastroenterologist and
Neurologist for essential tremors.
This condition appears in fatty infiltration of pancreas. It is better be confirmed as is the blood sugar levels to be monitored.
