Pancreatitis jaundice
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis jaundice
pancreatitis
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.
Hi. My sweet chihuahua, Charlie is 11 years old. He was diagnosed with Cushing's disease about 1 1/2 years ago. About 9 months ago, he had one of his anal sacs removed due to cancer, followed by radiation (as far as we know there is no metastasis). He also developed bladder stones around the same time as his anal sea resection, so they removed the stones at the same time. He's been on Urinary SO since then.
This could be a sign of pancreatitis, and is a medical emergency.

Any time you have new and severe pain like this, it should be checked out promptly. It might not be as serious as pancreatitis, but he needs to be examined.
I dont't know about the hepatitis but I do know from experience it causes pancreatitis and yellow jaundice when you drink too much. It wouldn't hurt for you to drink a lot of water. I am in recovery from drinking too much all the time. The elevated enzymes can be a sign of liver or pancreas problems.
Hi, I need to ask some questions. i lived in Indonesia. I already had jaundice for third times and each time before it happened, i felt a very heavy pain in my upper right of abdomen. 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.
Hopefully, the CT will come back that it is just pancreatitis. You can treat that and pretty much keep it away by mending your ways.
My troubles started in late March (I stopped drinking as soon as I thought something was wrong, used to knock back a full bottle of whiskey every night), turned out to be jaundice caused by a tumor in the head of the Pancreas. I'm just a couple days shy of being 14 weeks after the pylorus preserving Whipple procedure I had.
For the last few months I have had a constant gnawing achy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I have had labs for liver enzymes all normal, cholesterol all normal (trigs are 224 non fasting), all CMP labs within normal range. I had a complete abdominal ultrasound which was completely normal, (unable to view pancreas due to bowel gas). My doctor started me on kapidex which caused the symptoms to get worse. Dr says it's GERD, but it just constantly aches in the upper quadrants both of them.
I need your input. I'm trying to figure out what is causing pain in my upper right abdominal cavity. It is a fairly localized pain, radiating towards the back. It started in December 2008.
The pain was off and on, kind of a dull aching pain, but has started to become more frequent and more painful. I thought alcohol might be the cause (though I don't drink regularly - maybe two weekends a month, 5-10 drinks per weekend), but I took it easy and stopped drinking.
You seem to be very knowledgable with the whole pancreatitis thing, so I pose a question to you. I had Pancreatitis in Nov, spent a week in hospital, IV fluids, pain & anti nausea meds etc... found stones in the gallbladder and removed it 2 weeks later. I still had the nausea and some pain (esp. after eating) post laper. choly.
Yellow tinge to the eyes is one of the symptoms of jaundice. A fever and not feeling well all over (malaise) sound like you might be having some issues with your liver, gall bladder or pancreas.
I think of a couple of things: Gallstones or a Gallbladder that is not functioning right.
Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas which can cause jaundice and feeling ill.
Hepatitis A or B: Any form of hepatitis can cause these symptoms too. You should see your doctor asap for testing.
Another gastroentologist believes that they should wait for about two week may blue it will pass to avoid pancreatitis.
ve taken your dog to your vet, so what does your vet think is going on? What is causing the jaundice? Is this actually a case of pancreatitis? Did the illness come on suddenly, or has she slowly deteriorated? Are there any other changes in behavior or any other symptoms aside from the jaundice and vomiting? Did she happen to get into a bunch of fatty food before symptoms showed up?
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.

The above link gives you a long list of what normal bloodwork numbers are supposed to be. Your physician is supposed to explain why you have jaundice, which is based on what some of those numbers mean if they're abnormal, along with his information from your history and symptoms and other tests he performs. A couple numbers may be off, but often it depends on how they relate to other numbers, etc., as to what they actually mean.
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.
Hope a urine analysis did not reveal an infection, as urinary tract infection can cause these symptoms. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor.

s weeks before I can see the gastroenterologist. I have no other symptoms of a problem with the pancreas (no jaundice, abdominal pain, etc). Are there causes of an inhomogeneous pancreas on ultrasound besides cancer and pancreatitis?
Hello,
Thank you to anyone who may respond and offer information in regards to my post. My simple history is I have been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and then was upgraded chronic p. I have been to a slew of doctors(GP/GIs) who have done numerous tests including multiple ultrasounds, amylase/lipase serums, ct scan with contrast, and a hida scan with all of them showing negative results.
My pancreatitis seems to come and go for no apparent reason.

Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are found at this link. https://www.webmd.com/cancer/pancreatic-cancer/pancreatic-cancer-symptoms#1 When they speak of light stools they are speaking in terms of jaundice which usually has other symptoms such as yellow skin or eyes. Do you have that as well? If not, I'd not necessarily associate light stools with pancreatic cancer. GERD is likely to cause yellow stools.
Dark urine is caused mainly due to dietary factor, other causes most likely for u is gb stone, bile duct obstruction or pancreatitis. It may also arise when liver fails to conjugate the bilirubin as in case of Gilbert syndrome and other conjugation disorders as well as in obstructive jaundice.
Best thing for u I am repeatedly saying is do usg and ask the person doing usg to focus on liver, bile duct, gall bladder and pancreas.
I was hospitalized for 10 days with pancreatitis. They had no clue what caused it. They said my gallbladder was fine.
Foward 16 days, I land back in a different hospital who said pancreatitis was gone but I had the complication of a very large, baseball sized pancreatic pseudocyst. They said don't worry about pseudocyst, it's no big deal, it will go away. (Huh?) They said gallbladder was partially blocked. (Huh?
m worried that this might be either cirrhosis/ gallbladder issue/pancreatitis. Besides my symptoms, I have no signs of Jaundice, swelling of my feet, skin itching, nausea, vomiting, not much loss of appetite or spider veins which do point out to cirrhosis. I feel that I have a very slight mental fog but generally able to think alright.
In the mean time, I'm taking steps to refrain from drinking alcohol by stopping consumption but not completely abstaining (drinking once a week).
