1825362 tn?1317883153 Does anyone have any experience or knowledge regarding peg interferon and pancreatitis. I appreciate any response..... and thank you in advance.
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 Elevated ALT points to liver inflammation. You should be tested for hepatitis C and autoimmune hepatitis.
504535 tn?1210527032 Other conditions that can cause yellow stools include hepatitis, pancreatitis or liver cirrhosis. It does not indicate cancer like you rightly mentioned.
Avatar n tn In all probability the symptoms are due to alcoholic pancreatitis and hepatitis. It can also be food poisoning. Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers, banana, rice, peeled apple, etc. Take ORS. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Consult a doctor immediately. Take care!
1952776 tn?1325606457 When I was diagnosed with the Sarc I was prescribed Azathioprine which I found out over the three years I took it has damaged my pancreas and I am left with debilitating chronic pancreatitis. My liver enzymes over the years have been elevated off and on but no jaundice just fatty liver. Because my ANA is so high and I tested positive for the RA they went ahead and tested me for lupus.
Avatar f tn I am a 60 year old female who was diagnosed in the late 80s with acute pancreatitis and still have sporadic trouble today in 2014. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with hcv and was wondering what effects I would have with the two diseases together, for instance if given treatment for my hep-c will it make my pancreas worse or will I even be able to do the hcv treatment at all?
Avatar n tn they also said he is septic and has pancreatitis do to the liver disease. i am really scared for him and confuzed by everything i am reading on the web i googled final stages of cirrhosis and to me it seems like he has past that part if anyone can help.
Avatar f tn thank you for your comments Dr. I've since been taking the zantac (75mg every 12 hours) for the past few weeks and it seems to be subsiding and i haven't had any of the above issues, except this past weekend I ate a greasy burger (which i never eat) and it flared up again, with the upper abdominal bloating and sore spot, as well as diarrea.

Avatar f tn re headed to an acute bout of pancreatitis and trust me, you do not want that to happen. Pancreatitis often turns into the gift that keeps on giving and becomes a horribly painful, chronic condition. Alcohol abuse is a common cause of pancreatitis and any doctor will tell you that alcohol has to go out of your life forever or you risk another acute attack. Alcohlic hepatitis is another condition high on the list of suspects.
Avatar m tn Back in Nov 08, during a physical and ultrasound to check for what was first thought to be an ulcer, the Doc told me there was some inflammation of my pancreas and liver (alcoholic hepatitis), and to stop drinking immediately, since I consider myself a heavy drinker. If I stopped drinking I was told, everything would return to normal and be ok over time. I am only 31 years old, so I was suprised.
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome....Something is amiss with your liver function and you need to find out what. Alcohol once a week is not the culprit. Do you have Hep C? Have the doctors said the pancreatitis could cause these #s to elevate? What I do know is you must find the cause. Sometimes there are disorders which cause 1 number to be OK, and the other to rise. Hopefully, it could be an easy answer and resolved quickly.
Avatar m tn Sounds like a pretty unhappy liver. There are quite a few reasons why your enzymes are higher than normal, for instance with the TBIL here are some known causes (mononeucleosis, hemolytic anemia, even low levels of exposure to sun.) My father was just found to have a pretty common Liver disease called hemochromatosis which can lead to cirrhosis of the liver amongst other issues. With those levels, I'd take a real good look at what medications you take and if they can cause liver issues.
592969 tn?1248325405 The bloodwork shows raised levels in gallbladder and the doctor thinks this is hepatitis. Would this be an hepatitis A from food that he ate or how could he have contracted hepatitis?
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 n tn Chest pain in center and back can be due to heart attack. Get an EKG done. It can also be due to duodenal ulcer, hepatitis, pancreatitis or due to hiatal hernia. Endoscopy, liver function test, serum amylase or lipase needs to be done. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Take care!
422425 tn?1307992990 I do not have autoimmune pancreatitis, but I do have autoimmune hepatitis. Which is basically the same disease but mine attacks the liver and yours attacks the pancreas. Don't worry so much about the side effects of the sterroids, compared to what the disease can do to you if untreated. I've been on sterroids since March, 07 when I was diagnosed. Though I have been "weened" down on the sterroids I am still on them.
Avatar m 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. You can follow up with an abdominal ultrasonography to detect any structural abnormalities. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Avatar n tn I have been having stomach discomfort for 4 days know. My pain is in the upper middle and right side of stomach. The right side of my back hurts to. I take medicine for Acid reflux, high blood pressure and allergies. I also might have IBS. Can't get rid of pain. HELP!!!
Avatar f tn Almost 5 years ago I had an ERCP performed and suffered with the complication of pancreatitis(had 3 prior bouts of pancreatitis) and spent 19 days in the hospital following the procedure ( and have swore will never go thru that again - it was the worst most painful recovery) I have been lucky I have not experienced any further issues with PBC since the procedure. ( I am not an alcohol drinker so it isn't that ) But now I am experiencing the symptoms of when this all began.
Avatar n tn I had several more attacks within the 3 month period before my surgery, each time having acute hepatitis and pancreatitis. About 15 months after my gallbladder was removed my primary care physician and I decided to try oral contraceptives again. Bad idea. Within 6 weeks I had another attack and found myself back in the hospital because of elevated liver counts and pancreatitis. Needless to say, I'm done playing "guinea pig" with my body.
