Autoimmune Pancreatitis

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare autoinflammatory condition of the pancreas that is steroid responsive. Correct diagnosis of patients who present with clinical features of AIP is key because AIP can mimic pancreatic cancer, a deadly disease, which is ten times more common.

All aspects of AIP—from its definition and epidemiology to its clinical presentation, subtypes, diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment—are covered in this online course by Julia Mayerle and Georg Beyer.  

Target audience

This course is suitable for gastroenterologists in training, but is also appropriate for physicians and surgeons in other disciplines, as well as nurses, biotechnicians and advanced-years’ medical students who have an interest in gastroenterology.
