Know about

What is Pancreatitis?

What is Pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed, causing digestive enzymes to activate early and start irritating the pancreas itself. This may lead to severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and bloating. Pain often increases after meals or may radiate to the back. It is commonly caused by gallstones, excessive alcohol use, high triglycerides, certain medications, or pancreatic duct blockage.
 
In some patients, repeated inflammation may lead to Chronic Pancreatitis, affecting digestion and insulin production. If untreated, pancreatitis may result in infection, tissue damage, cyst formation (pseudocyst), or digestive complications. Early diagnosis and proper management are important to prevent serious outcomes.

Diagnostic Methods for Pancreatitis Evaluation

Diagnosis begins with a clinical assessment of symptoms and medical history. Based on severity, the following tests may be recommended:
These tests help in choosing the most suitable medical, endoscopic, or surgical treatment for pancreatitis.
