pancreatitis ultrasound images

I have a daughter with chronic pancreatitis. She breaks out in hives, head to toe, when given the barium; and must be given more meds to counteract that... What an excellent alternative! From the story: "The study found that the images taken of patients who were given whole milk were just as useful as the images that were taken of patients given the diluted barium..." CT Scans "...

I had my first ultrasound to find out my baby's sex when I was 17 weeks and 3 days however when I got the pictures it looks like I seen lips is it even possible to see featured in the face that early on or black and white ultrasound

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.

I am really worried that this was liver disease and/or acute pancreatitis. GI doctor says that based on ultrasound, CT scan, endoscopy and MRCP, there is no way that this abdominal pain is related to liver disease and/or pancreatitis. My job requires a lot of travel and entertaining (i.e. social drinking). GI doctor said that there is "no risk" from social drinking, and I am safe to get back to "work". Does this sound right?

I have had terrible pain in my front right & left ribs & in my sides that wraps about midways in my back somethime under both shoulderblades on both sides for the last 2 years after eating with weight loss that has leveled off some. I have had one mild elevation of Amylase around 135 at the beggining of 2006. I had high triglycerides which are now normal.I have had continual elevations of Lipase around 320 throughout the last 2 years.

At first they told me it looked like a girl and then a boy. I would like to do a 4d ultrasound but not sure when is the best time to do it some say at 28weeks. Have some of you dont it already if not when are you wanting to do one?

Barely sleeps, significant weight loss, and constipation. Ultrasound came back clear, fatty liver. Endoscopy negative. Blood work normal except this last check the included the CA 19-9, came back at 473. Ct had shown mild pancreatitis with pancreatic duct dilation. EUS procedure was scheduled and now canceled due to coronavirus. Do we have reason to worry is this most likely just pancreatitis.

Sounds like a girl to me.

She was constipated and vomiting. The vet took blood work that showed she had pancreatitis and kidney disease. Her BUN was 76 and creatinine 5.6. Her pancreatic function numbers were (Am) 2148 and (LP) 2792. She was on IV fluids overnight and her numbers barely changed for her kidneys but her pancreas function numbers were (Am) 441 and (LP)550.

•Upper abdominal pain that radiates into the back. It may be aggravated by eating, especially foods high in fat. •Swollen and tender abdomen •Nausea and vomiting •Fever •Increased heart rate How Is Pancreatitis Diagnosed? To diagnose acute pancreatitis, doctors measure levels in the blood of two digestive enzymes, amylase and lipase. High levels of these two enzymes strongly suggest acute pancreatitis.

I recently was hospitalized for acute pancreatitis. An ultrasound was done of my gallbladder and it was normal as was the CT scan of my pancreas. My doctor still thinks I have gallbladder disease and ordered a HITA scan done. I have no symptoms of gallbladder problems, but the scan from what I could see and from comments by the technician indicated almost no contraction, a large gallbladder, and from what I could see no emptying of the gallbladder.

d post it here as well. For anyone who wants to see, I posted pics of the 3D images of my little man that were taken this past week! It is so amazing to me how far technology has come. Although he would NOT cooperate, we were able to get a few good shots of his face. He so cute!(I know, I'm the momma) He kept putting his hands in his face and the umbilical cord was just everywhere. It was an amazing experience for dh and me though. I thought after seeing him we would come up with a name but.

Hi I just had an abdominal ultrasound done today regarding some mild chronic abdominal pain. I noticed the ultrasound tech taking more images on my the right side of abdomen and flank area compared to the left side and flank and mid-abdominal area. Is this normal. I feel as if she probably saw something unusual on the right side, which is why she appeared to focus more. Or is it perhaps there are more organs or larger organs to view on that side?

In the last month my cousin has had gall bladder pancreatitis, their gall bladder removed and for about the last 10 days they have been getting very little sleep due to a burning/tingling sensation in the top of their legs. The legs are numb/dull sensation when touched. They can live with the numbness/dull sensation but not the pain/burning. They are on pain killers but that is not treating the source of the problem. We have noticed in the last couple of days that their thighs are very swollen.

I had a ultrasound done a fee years ago and just got the images there is a huge blue area and a giant red area I am trying to see if this is normal

I recently had a bout of acute pancreatitis that resolved in about 2-3 days. I had been eating a pretty high fat diet for a few days and was taking tylenol 3 for a dental procedure. AP was verified via CT w/contrast but my panc enzymes remained normal throughout the attack. I am concerened that the attack may be a sign of a cronic conditon due to my previous history of alchohol. The CT scan did not show anything other than the hazy pancreas, impression pancreatitis.

Elevated lipase, especially when more than 3x the reference range, is suspicious for pancreatitis (difficult to see on ultrasound). Differential diagnosis of pancreatic cyst includes pseudocyst (in the setting of pancreatitis), sidebranch IPMN, or serous or mucinous cystic neoplasm. MRI/MRCP, as suggested by your GI doc, can help to further characterize.

I went to the doctor and my blood tests were normal as well as an abdominal ultrasound. It eventually stopped for a few months but now has been back for the last three months and pretty much every day now. The pain is not extremely intense but is very noticeable and at times strong. My labs were normal for the most part except for elevated alkaline phosphatase and an ultrasound this time showed slight calcium deposits in the tail of the pancreas but did not show up on an abdominal xray.

I recently had an ultrasound that said I had a borderline enlarged pancreatic duct (4.2 mm). I do not have pancreatitis. I am wondering about causes, if there are any besides cancer or pancreatitis. That is all I have found on this subject. Am scared.

If it is the bile ducts you can have stents put in. Bile duct problems can cause pancreatitis or vice versa. I am a long time sufferer from pancreatitis and sod. If you have problems with backed up bile ducts it could certainly have caused the sepsis you had. IT will push toxins in to the blood stream and make you sick. An ultrasound will be better in finding a blockage in your duct. But the best way is an ercp.

I agree with crambone check it out.

cyclopam or meftal - spas, then we take her to hospital, they admitted her n done blood tests, ultrasound, abodomen x-rays and CT scan too. as she stated complaining severe backache too. in her CT scan doctors found her pencreas head size is bit bulky, they called it as Pencreas mild infection. but for secrure side they did MRCP too. everything was normal, only that infection they found. after this doctors stopped her food n water even. Daily her Blood tests done(Lipase n Amylase).

I have been having bad upper stomach and mid chest pains for about 2 and a half weeks, which is coming from the pancreatitis diagnoses i got a couple or 3 years ago. The last couple of bowel movements I had looked weird. They looked like a whole lot of pieces glued together, really ragged, not smooth as they normally are. Does anybody know if that's a normal part of pancreatits?
