Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in Sudanese diabetics.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed in 40 Sudanese patients with diabetes mellitus. 25 were insulin-dependent and 15 were noninsulin-dependent. ERCP was normal in all the patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. Two patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes had pancreatographic changes compatible with minimal-change pancreatitis. Diabetes mellitus in Sudan unlike in other tropical countries is not associated with structural changes in the exocrine pancreas.
