Pancreatitis blood gases
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis blood gases
pancreatitis
The green colored vomit could be due to stasis of bile. It could be due to gallbladder disease or pancreatitis. Other possible causes of include bowel obstruction, inflammation of the stomach and small intestines from an unrelated source as well as an unrelated intestinal infection. You will need to consult your treating doctor, who may run blood and urine tests and may sometimes ask for an ultra sonography to detect the cause for the vomiting. .
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
My chocolate lab "Skip" is about 10 years old and developed pancreatitis for the first time. We took him to the doctor he never vomited or diahrea until the day after he got to the vets office. His amalyse was high like 8000 and his glucose and white blood count low but we got an ultrasound to make sure not cancer. He started to show improvements with the IV and antibiotic. Now a week later he is starting to decline and the vet has tried everything.
Ask your doctor to do a blood test for amylase & lipase levels.
i had problems in digestion and any food make great amount of gases and my colon i think it is not stable and i feel my intestine moving in different directions and making noise and sound and in the morning i always feel that my stomatch is not well like i will vomit if i eat any normal food
but the great problem is that these great amount of gases i cant prevent them for long time so they are moving quickly from the colon to the anal place and making sounds from the anal but they dont go out al
I am not familiar with diverculitis but I do know elevated lipsase and amylase is a sign of pancreatitis which can come from many things like meds, cystic fibrosis, genetics, alcohol, or high tryglicerides. Did you dr mention this?
It sounds like your husband has at least pancreatitis based on CT, but it is unusual that the other blood work was normal. Usually pancreatitis presents with elevated amylase and/or lipase. Significant weight loss is concerning for cancer. Jaundice, dark urine, and light stools would also be concerning if present.
People with respiratory failure can be the chronic type (long lasting) or acute (occurs suddenly). Respiratory failure means that there isn't effective exchange of gases, O2 and CO2-either there is a drop in oxygen level and or a rise in carbon dioxide in the blood.
Acute failure occurs very quickly and needs immediate intervention (such as a vent or some other breathing device).
My question is does this mean I have chronic pancreatitis or can you not tell on a MRCP? Does the duct dilatation set off an inflamation of the liver and pancreas and cause the pancreatitis pain? Also can the duct dilatation heal on its own in time?
I have no desire to undergo an ERCP as I've heard such nightmare stories from people who have undergone but yet I'm so tired of not feeling good and having pain and just would like to feel good again.
Thanks for your help.
I have had ultra sound, upper GI, Endoscopy, CT scan, MRI, MRCP. Hida Scan, back xrays, and all the lab work, that includes blood test for pancreas and liver. They did find two side branch lesions about 1 cm each in the pancreas. The radiologist and my pancreatic specialist said they need to be monitored and no real concern at this time. The endoscopy found mild gastritis. All other test are normal.
I was diagnosed yesterday in the ER. They found through an abdominal ultra sound the tail is enlarged. I have a family history of pancreatic cancer. They request I do further testing. Is pancreatitis something you can get rid of or is it something that kind of hangs around and "flares up"?
I have recently, the last month or so, began having shortness of breath, less frequently...palpitations. Arterial blood gases normal, pulse ox 100%. Healthful information: vegetarian (i eat dairy), low iron, work midnight shift, usually get about 4-5 hrs of sleep during the day, if Im lucky. Could sleep deprivation cause any of this?

Dogs, like humans, need a certain amount of fat for good nutrition, but sudden spikes in fat can bring on an acute case of pancreatitis - particularly in a dog who has already had it. Chronic pancreatitis is darned difficult to manage in humans as well as dogs.
Please post back and let us know what your vet has to say about the urine sample and your dog's general condition.
Day 1 chihuahua acted weak and crawled alot with spazuming under left rib cage. Moved around alot would lay in one spot.
Day 2 threw up several times. Then threw up bile and brownish tinted blood. Took him to vet was put on "doggie finigrin" gave 3 shots 1 for stomach 1 pen 1 vitamin b12. Gave Ice chips and medicine every 4 hours.
Day 3 vomited white foam mixed with what looked like a raw egg cracked into a cup minus the yoke. Will not eat absolutely anything.
WHY WON'T ANYONE ANSWER MY QUESTION????? In February I had an amylase level of 170, then in March it went up to 179. So they did a cat scan and ruled out pancreatitis. I have no gall bladder, no pain anywhere, and the liver is fine. NOW IN APRIL the amylase level is 189 and the lipase test is 59. My gastro doctor said he isn't concern and he would retest my blood count in July.
OK???? Isn't blood work done to alert doctors there is a problem.
