Description
Olivia Hahl and Mika Martikainen review, in 2026, every published case of pancreatitis in people with confirmed mitochondrial disease. The pancreas is often affected in these disorders, usually as diabetes, but inflammation of the gland is poorly mapped. Their search found twenty reports covering twenty-four patients.
The average age at first attack was thirteen, and most cases recurred or became chronic. Belly pain and vomiting were the most common signs, and none of the patients had the usual risk factors like gallstones or alcohol. Two genetic causes dominated. A quarter of patients died soon after admission, underlining that this rare pairing can be deadly.
