Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis ultrasound findings

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn I was hospitalized this weekend for severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Even after two doses of morphine, I could still feel mild pain twisting my stomach. The pain was low and centralized, and when the doctor had a blood test ordered, the only abnormality was elevated lipase. All other numbers were normal. X-ray showed nothing out of the norm, and the doctor thought perhaps it was just a bad tummy bug combined with my c-section scar tissue.
Avatar f tn 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 n tn When I was in the hospital I had a CT, mrcp, and ultrasound. The only significant findings was the pancreatitis on the CT and sludge in the GB. Do you have any ideas as to where I should go next with this or who to see.
901406 tn?1242399822 Hi Kelly: You've been through so much at such a young age; I'm so sorry you are suffering. If the last CT-Scan had findings and your Doctors aren't pursing those findings, perhaps a second opinion is in order. A mildly enlarged gallbladder can cause pain. Inflammation of ovaries and/or small cysts can also cause pain. Symptoms like dizziness, weight loss, diarrhea and nausea should be investigated further, though.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn Ok I'm driving myself crazy with research on my thyroid nodule. I have had a FNA & ultrasound. I am waiting for the FNA results (its making me crazy waiting) but here is what my ultrasound report said - any input? Enlarged thyroid gland. 2.9 x 1.3 x 1.9cm complex cystic mass of the mid to lower pole ofthe right lobe. It contains thick internal septations which are vascular, multiple punctate microcalcifications are present. Does any of that mean anything bad?
Avatar n tn I just had two mammograms and an ultrasound and received a report that said the following: MLO projection shows a persistent, well circumscribed nodular density in the inner lower quadrant of the right breast. On the 90 lateral projection, the density is seen in the lower breast. Ultrasound of the density was performed. At 5:00, 5 cm from the nipple there is a 7x5x3 mm solid, well-defined hypoechoic mass. The borders are smooth and well-defined.
Avatar f tn m overweight) and said that I probably have fatty liver but decided to order an ultrasound along with some blood work. I will provide you with some background on abnormal test results from my recent last 2 visits: Alkaline Phosphatas 111 GFR >60 Iron 19 TIBC 484 Iron Saturation 4% Hemoglobin 10.4 Hematocrit 32.8 MCV 67.2 MCH 21.3 RDW 20.
436191 tn?1256646306 Interview a number of them and see how many of their patients have developed post ERCP pancreatitis. When done in good hands, your risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis is very, very small. Good luck.
Avatar n tn 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.
20820562 tn?1524877846 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn i want kno what is the explanation of this findings or do i need to remove this mass..BREAST ULTRASOUND REPORT BOTH BREAST ARE SYMMETRIC IN SIZE AND SHAPE WITH HETEROGEOUS PREDOMINANTLY FIBROGLANDULAR PARENCHYMAL ECHOPATTERN SHOWING THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: FEW WELL-DEFINED FOCI ARE NOTED IN BOTH BREASTS WITH THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS, AND SIZES: RIGHT: 3 O'CLOCK POSITION, ZONE A: (HYPOECHOIC) 1.41 X 1.63 X 1.02 CM. 11 O'CLOCK POSITION, ZONE B: (CYSTIC) 0.46 X 0.03 CM.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn They said that they could be possilbe cysts or intramammory nodes. What does that mean? I am having an ultrasound on June 12th. Is this something I should be worried about.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I agree with crambone check it out.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar f tn 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?
