Brief description of study

This study will provide the most accurate and reliable estimates to date on disease progression and clinical events in evolving chronic pancreatitis. We also hope to develop from the results of this study some lab tests that will help us with early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis and also to discover any genetic factors that may affect your chances of developing chronic pancreatitis. The results of this study may also provide information that will open opportunities for new drug discovery.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to estimate the risk of progression from suspected to definite CP, and the risk of new-onset diabetes or exocrine insufficiency in definite CP, and study how the risks are influenced by patient characteristics and conditions.
