Understanding hereditary pancreatitis to improve diagnosis for better health

Research Pulse podcast Season 1 Episode 2     

A research discovery relating to hereditary pancreatitis could help improve healthcare in Aboriginal Australians.

We speak with world-renowned researcher Professor Toby Coates AO, Director of Kidney and Islet Transplantation at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

We learn about:

  • chronic pancreatitis
  • the over-expression of genes responsible for chronic pancreatitis among Aboriginal Australians
  • how this new knowledge can assist clinicians to make an accurate diagnosis when young patients present with signs of chronic pancreatitis
