How to determine if you have pancreatitis

Pancreatitis can be diagnosed by physical examination, laboratory examination, imaging examination, etc.

1. Physical examination

If the patient has abdominal pain, fever, nausea and other symptoms, and palpation finds muscle tension in the upper abdomen or waist, as well as pressure pain, etc., it is necessary to be alert to the disease.

2. Laboratory examination

If the blood test finds elevated levels of pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase and other substances, accompanied by abnormal manifestations such as elevated white blood cell count and elevated blood sugar level, the initial diagnosis of pancreatitis can be made.

3. Imaging examination

If abdominal X-ray, ultrasound, CT and other imaging examinations reveal abnormal manifestations such as pancreatic swelling and pancreatic duct dilatation, the disease can be diagnosed in combination with the above results.
