Evaluation of Pancreas in Diabetic PatientsType-IIUsing Ultrasonography

Abstract

This acrossectional retrospective study aimed to evaluate of pancreas in diabetic patients type-II using ultrasonography carried out in different Khartoum hospitalsand conducted during the period from February up to May 2017. There were 50 cases(25patient normal as control group and 25 patient had diabetic type II) male and female all patient had aged between 25and 69 free of diabetic or had diabetic type II; any patient had diabetic type I was excluded from this study. we’re had scanned transabdominllyusing Semen’s ultrasound machine of curvilinear transducer(3.5Mhz) to evaluate changes in pancreatic size and the effect of duration of diabetic on diabetic patient using ultrasound compare with healthy patient. Data was collected using data collecting sheet designated to evaluate patient age, duration of diseases, echogensetiy of pancreas, and wall of pancreas, mass found in pancreas and measurement of head, neck, body and tail of pancreas Andanalyze this informationUsing statistical package for social science. Study found that there are significant strong inverse relationship between the pancreatic size and the duration of diabetic which the head decreased by 0.0368, the neck decreased by 0.0417 cm per year while the body decrease by 0.0366 cm per year, and the tail decrease by 0.0320 cm per year. Study concluded that the diabetic patient usually include hyperechoic pattern, irregular out line, with or without presence of classification. Study recommended that ultrasound scanning should be done routinely for any patient with diabetic in type-IIto help the specialist to follow-up the patient treatment plan.
