Infection: People with acute pancreatitis may be at risk of developing an infection, such as pneumonia or a urinary tract infection.

Organ failure: If the pancreas becomes severely inflamed, it can lead to organ failure.

Shock: Shock may occur if the inflammation is severe and affects other organs.
