Which condition is characterized by the triad of high glucose levels, steatorrhea, and calcification seen on CT scan?

The condition characterized by the triad of high glucose levels, steatorrhea, and calcification seen on CT scan is chronic pancreatitis.

Chronic pancreatitis is a long-lasting inflammation of the pancreas that often develops after repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis. Over time, this condition leads to irreversible damage to the pancreatic tissue, resulting in impaired secretory functions, which include the production of digestive enzymes and insulin.

High glucose levels in chronic pancreatitis occur due to the destruction of insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas. The presence of steatorrhea indicates that the pancreas is not producing enough enzymes to digest fats, leading to the excretion of undigested fats in the stool. Calcification on a CT scan is an important imaging feature of chronic pancreatitis, as it reflects the deposition of calcium in areas of necrosis and fibrosis in the pancreas as a result of chronic inflammation.

The other conditions listed do not typically present with this specific combination of symptoms. Acute pancreatitis might show elevated glucose levels but is more typically associated with abdominal pain, elevated serum amylase or lipase, rather than steatorrhea or calcifications. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma may also lead to steatorrhea but
