Effects of dietary fat on pancreatitis recurrence

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial investigates how different dietary fat contents affect the recurrence of acute pancreatitis and associated mortality. Participants with a history of at least two episodes of acute pancreatitis will be randomized into two groups: one following a reduced fat diet and the other adhering to a standard healthy diet. Over a two-year period, participants will receive dietary interventions and complete food frequency questionnaires, while their health data, including mortality, BMI, and serum lipid levels, will be monitored. The goal is to determine if a low-fat diet can effectively reduce the recurrence of acute pancreatitis in idiopathic cases.
