pancreatic ductal hypertension
Pancreatic ductal hypertension refers to the increased pressure within the ducts of the pancreas. It occurs when there is a blockage or obstruction in the pancreatic ducts, leading to a buildup of pancreatic juice and subsequent increase in pressure. This condition can cause various complications and may require medical intervention to relieve the obstruction and manage the hypertension.
