Symptoms of Pancreatitis

The most common symptom of pancreatitis is abdominal pain that radiates to the back. The pain may be sharp and sudden or dull and persistent. Other common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and jaundice.

Diagnosis of Pancreatitis

If you have symptoms that suggest pancreatitis, your doctor will order tests to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may include blood tests, an imaging test such as an ultrasound or CT scan, or a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Treatment of Pancreatitis

Treatment for pancreatitis depends on the type and severity of the condition. Treatment may involve medications to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as changes in diet. In severe cases, hospitalization and surgery may be necessary. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and take all medications as prescribed.
