What are the symptoms of immune pancreatitis?

summary

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas caused by the immune response of the pancreas to the recognition of its own components as antigens by CD4 positive helper cells. There was no objective diagnosis of pancreatic duct specific antibody, and imaging and non-specific antibody diagnosis accounted for a large proportion. The image of diffuse pancreatic duct stenosis is chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic duct stenosis, but it can not be denied that pancreatitis without pancreatic duct stenosis is associated with autoimmune diseases. Let's talk about the symptoms of immune pancreatitis.
