Diagnosis of Pancreatitis:

  • Blood tests, including amylase, lipase, liver function, and kidney function, help confirm pancreatitis and detect related complications.
  • Imaging tests, such as ultrasound, CT scan, MRI/MRCP, and ERCP, help detect pancreatic inflammation, gallstones, bile duct obstruction, and related complications.
  • Physical exam & symptoms – Severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Treatment of Pancreatitis:
