Detailed explanation-1: -To check for acute pancreatitis, the doctor will probably press on your belly area to see if it is tender and check for low blood pressure, low fever, and rapid pulse. To diagnose chronic pancreatitis, X-rays or imaging tests such as a CT scan or MRI may show whether the pancreas is calcified.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chronic pancreatitis is a condition where the pancreas (a small organ located behind the stomach and below the ribcage) becomes permanently damaged from inflammation. It’s different to acute pancreatitis, where the inflammation is only short-term.
Detailed explanation-3: -Belly injury or surgery. High levels of fat particles (triglycerides) in the blood. Very high levels of calcium in the blood. Certain medicines, such as estrogens, steroids, and thiazide diuretics. Infections, such as mumps, hepatitis A or B, or salmonella. Cystic fibrosis. A tumor. More items
