Pancreatitis causes signs and symptoms

Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis causes signs and symptoms

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn You might have pancreatitis. That could cause all 3 symptoms, and the elevated enzymes. Other causes of your symptoms would not likely do that. Make sure your doctor checks you thoroughly for pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn Your doctor determines the specific cause of your elevated liver enzymes by reviewing your medications, your signs and symptoms and, in some cases, other tests and procedures.
Avatar m tn No idea what it is, but it's most likely not pancreatitis. That's a very very painful disease, and you'd be at the ER no matter what getting opiates if you had that, again most likely. I assume when you say you stopped eating carbs, you meant stopped eating white flour. Whole grains are the staple of a healthy diet, and all the most healthful foods are carbs, such as veggies, fruits, etc.
Avatar n tn I tested for hep a, b , c and it all went negative, my doc underwent a ultrasound for me and he detected gallbladder stone and fatty liver. He suspected it was caused by my gallbladder stone. i had a very very high sgpt, sgot and gamma. tested for afp tumour marker and it was also negative. also done mrcp, which stated no dilatation in my pancreatic duct and no stones in my bile duct but the doctor said it already went down. whats ur opinion guys i feel very tired to find a correct analysis.
Avatar n tn Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn i had the blood test done because i have had weakness and pain in my legs and back and spasum in my shoulder and leg i am also tierd all the time and seem to have a constant headache. i have looked on the internet to find out what a low b12 count could mean and the information i found quite confusing.
Avatar m tn or it could be pancreatitis.. if you've been drinking or hitting NSAD's really hard lately..the pain is pretty high with pancreatitis and you'd be doubled over..but not always. A blood test for pancreatitis can be used if you've been drinking a lot.. either way with an ulcer i'd avoid alchohol/tylenol/asprin like the plague. That'll kill your stomach.
Avatar f tn Hi, understand your concern. With pancreatitis usually the lipase and amylase values are increased many folds. And if chronic the imaging studies will usually show pancreatic fibrosis. In the absence of these findings its unlikely that you have chronic pancreatitis. The other causes for the pain could be infections of the bowel and bladder, prolapsed intervertebral disc or inflammatory diseases of the colon. So, if your symptoms persist discuss these options with your doctor. Regards.
Avatar f tn //www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20360227 It's my understanding that sometimes in severe scaring cases they will do surgery or use nerve blocks to help. But more information would be beneficial for more discussion.
Avatar f tn I have a history of acute recurrent Pancreatitis over 10years long, with dual Sphincterotomies done 9 months ago that also resulted in a retroperitoneal small bowel perforation and ongoing frequent attacks of acute Pancreatitis. My ampulla goes into a diverticulum in the small bowel. A Triple phase CT Scan done today shows air in the intrahepatic radicals, and in the bile duct, which is dilated to 8.8 mms. There is also air in the Pancreatic Duct which is mildly dilated in the head 4.
Avatar n tn My 5 year old has had pancreatitis twice in 4 1/2 months. Once in Nov 2009 and again in April 2010. No cause was found - tested negative for gall bladder issues, negative for cystic fibrosis, cholesterol was normal, no trauma to belly, no family history, no pancreatitic cysts. She did receive a flu shot one month before the first attack, and then received her MMR and Chickenpox vaccine one month before the second attack. Possible connection, we don't know?
1674610 tn?1317002220 I was wondering what causes pancreastitis and can that turn into cancer? my Mother died of pancreas cancer, but she never complaind of pains like mine, does this mean that i am a candidate for getting waht she had because my pancrease is swelling! last check was up 480 was hospitalized and starved! whats really going on here?
Avatar f tn In pancreatitis both lipase and amylase are usually elevated. Other tests (CT, MRI) are needed to confirm pancreatitis. But elevated lipase doesn't mean you have pancreatitis. Or, lipase level doesn't necessary correlate with severity of inflammation. ERCP was probably suggested because a small stone, either from gallbladder or pancreas can block pancrteatic duct - what results in pancreatitis. There's another, noninvasive investigation - MRCP, which could be done instead of ERCP.
Avatar f tn what are signs and symptoms of MS? I have optic neuritis and would like to know other symptoms.
Avatar n tn The other causes could be jaundice if there is yellowish discoloration of skin, food poisoning if the symptoms occurred shortly after taking food, peptic ulcer disease and sometimes cholecystitis and pancreatitis. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. In the meantime take oral fluids. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn As my Endoscopy is normal, CT shows focal pancreatitis , and Amylase and Lypase levels are normal. So he doesnt think that its Chronic Pancreatitis but feels its acid pain. Now my pain is on and off. When I eat oily or spicy food it recurs with mild to moderate pain.
Avatar f tn Giardia, Pancreatitis, HGE, IBD, Parvo, and stress colitis. Another possibility is a GI foreign body (The GI foreign body would require a barium study and possibly surgical removal of the object). There are snap tests for giardia, pancreatitis and parvovirus that can be performed in-house immediately. These diseases, except a GI foreign body require symptomatic therapy at the vet's office.
Avatar n tn a group of signs and symptoms that occur together and characterize a particular abnormality or condition 2 : a set of concurrent things (as emotions or actions) that usually form an identifiable pattern In any case, find a pancreatologist NOT just a gastroenterologist unless you have one that stays up-to-date with modern medicine!
Avatar m tn So, just like heart causes have been ruled out, other causes will need to be ruled out. Fatty liver and other related liver and gall bladder problems usually cause referred pain to right shoulder and right shoulder blade. Please discuss this with your treating doctor. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar f tn Low blood pressure that is low enough that the flow of blood to the organs of the body is inadequate and symptoms and/or signs of low blood flow develop usually requires immediate medical attention. Generally, low pressure alone, without symptoms or signs, usually is not an unhealthy condition. Find the underlying cause of the low blood pressure would almost certainly answer your questions.
Avatar n tn basically, what is Pancreatitis? what causes this to happen? any effects?
Avatar n tn 2 weeks later was diagnosed with Evans Syndrome. She hospitalized. Showed signs of Vastibular, pancreatitis. She passed away yesterday. Prior to the vaccine a happy pup. Running and playing?
Avatar f tn The presence of other signs and symptoms are an important indication of possible causes of left sided abdominal pain and factors that exacerbate or ease the pain are a vital clue to the underlying condition. If the pain is of a sudden onset, unbearable and associated with a high fever, dizziness, confusion or a loss of consciousness, immediate medical attention needs to be sought.
Avatar m tn Otherwise left shoulder pain can be due to abdominal causes such as gastritis, acidity, gastric reflux, hiatal hernia, pancreatitis, or local causes such as arthritis, rotator cuff injury, bursitis etc. You should get these causes evaluated. If they are ruled out, then it is an aura of migraine. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar f tn Sorry you are in the same boat cause this boat is slowly sinking! LOL =) I called and requested copies of my tests so I could "google" what is there since his consultation was so vague. My blood sugar is high but he said no big deal. I am not a diabetic and have never had problems with my sugar.
