Pancreatitis can range from a mild condition that improves with treatment to a serious illness requiring hospital care. Gallstones and heavy alcohol use are among the common causes, although other factors can also contribute.
At Hegde Hospital, our medical team evaluates the cause and severity of pancreatitis and develops an appropriate treatment plan. Management may include hospital monitoring, fluids, pain control, nutritional support, treatment of the underlying cause, and procedures or surgery when necessary.
What is Pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin that help regulate blood sugar.
Acute pancreatitis develops suddenly and may improve with appropriate medical treatment. Chronic pancreatitis causes ongoing or repeated inflammation that can lead to permanent damage and affect digestion and blood sugar control.
Diagnosis may involve blood tests, ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, or other investigations depending on the patient's symptoms and clinical condition.
