58 | What happens when the pancreas doesn’t work properly? Let’s take a look…
What happens when our patient’s pancreas doesn’t work properly?! Well - they get exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, aka EPI. This is a disease where the pancreas can’t make and release digestive enzymes normally, meaning our patients don’t properly digest and absorb nutrients from their food. The result? Polyphagia, weight loss, VERY poor body condition, awful faeces and many vitamin deficiencies amongst other things… but with proper nutrition, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment, they can do very well. In episode 58 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re diving deep into exactly what EPI is, how it affects our patients, and how we can help give great care to these patients as nurses and technicians. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today’s episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast --- 🖥️ Grab the free webinar, podcast AND resource library access: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/downloads --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and its content is provided only for information.
