species

The disease can be divided into two forms:

• Achylia gastrica (the absence of gastric juices)
• Achylia pancreatica (the absence of pancreatic juices ).

causes

Such diseases can be triggered by a tumor or chronic atrophic gastritis in the stomach . A failure of the exocrine secretion (formation of digestive juices) of the pancreas is usually an indication of an occlusion of the Vater's papilla by a stone or, more rarely, by a tumor of the head of the pancreas.

Symptoms and Treatment

The symptoms correspond to their underlying illnesses such as tumor or stone occlusion. The treatment is based on this.
