Observational Cohort of Pancreatic Echo-endoscopy

Little is known about the pathogenesis of the fatty pancreas. Fat can replace acinar cells and / or pancreatic endocrine cells (1). To date, there are no biomarkers allowing the detection of a fatty pancreas. It appears that older age, male, obesity, alcohol consumption, high triglycerides, high ALT, diabetes or insulin resistance, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome are risk factors for a fatty pancreas (2,3,4).To the investigator's knowledge, these different factors have not been evaluated on the impact of pancreatic echogenecity in endosonography. The objective of this study is to correlate the factors making up the metabolic syndrome with pancreatic echogenecity.
