A pancreatectomy can be performed as a treatment for pancreatic cancer, pancreatic tumors (pre-malignant), chronic pancreatitis, or when the pancreas has been severely damaged by injury. Removing part of or the entire pancreas may cause a loss of pancreatic digestive enzyme production, leading to EPI.

In the nervous system, the intracellular chloride concentration ([Cl - ] i) determines the strength and polarity of-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated neurotransmission. [Cl - ] i is determined, in part, by the activities of the SLC12 cationâchloride cotransporters (CCCs). These transporters include the NaâKâ2Cl cotransporter NKCC1, which mediates chloride influx, and various KâCl cotransportersâsuch as KCC2 and KCC3âthat extrude chloride.
