Understanding Pancreatitis

What is Pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas — the gland located behind your stomach that produces digestive enzymes and insulin. It occurs in two main forms:

  • Acute pancreatitis: sudden onset inflammation, often severe but typically resolves with treatment.

  • Chronic pancreatitis: long-standing inflammation, often resulting from repeated episodes, and may lead to permanent damage and complications.

Why it happens

Common triggers include:

  • Gallstones blocking the bile‐pancreatic duct

  • Excessive alcohol intake

  • Hypertriglyceridaemia (high fats in blood)

  • Medications, infections, trauma

  • Less common causes: autoimmune, genetic predisposition, pancreatic duct anomalies

Signs & symptoms

Patients with pancreatitis may experience:

  • Intense upper abdominal pain (often radiating to the back)

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Elevated pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase) on blood tests

  • Swelling or tenderness in the abdomen
    Complications may include pseudocysts, bleeding, organ failure in severe acute cases, malabsorption, diabetes in chronic cases.

Pancreatitis Treatment – Under Dr. Rawat’s Care

Step-by-step management

  1. Diagnosis & initial evaluation

    • Dr. Rawat ensures a thorough work-up: clinical exam, blood tests (pancreatic enzymes, liver function, lipids), imaging such as ultrasound/CT scan to evaluate the pancreas, gallbladder, biliary tract.

    • Because Dr. Rawat is also a liver and gastrointestinal specialist, co-existing gallbladder disease or liver issues are addressed in the same visit. surgeoninagra.com+1

  2. Acute pancreatitis management

    • Hospital admission for stabilization: intravenous fluids, pain relief, nutritional support (often via a nasojejunal tube or early oral feeding as indicated).

    • Monitoring for complications (necrosis, infection, organ failure) and addressing underlying causes (e.g., gallstones, hyperlipidaemia).

    • If gallstones are the cause, Dr. Rawat may evaluate for laparoscopic cholecystectomy or endoscopic intervention as needed.

  3. Chronic pancreatitis and long‐term management

    • Pain control strategies, enzyme replacement if malabsorption is present, management of diabetes if it develops.

    • Addressing lifestyle factors: alcohol cessation, diet modifications, monitoring for progression of disease.

    • If complications such as pseudocyst or ductal strictures occur, Dr. Rawat uses advanced minimally invasive/laparoscopic or endoscopic techniques (given his training in minimal access surgery and hepatopancreatic surgery). Practo+1

What Patients Should Know – Tips & FAQs

  • When to seek care: If you have severe upper abdominal pain, especially radiating to the back, with nausea/vomiting, seek prompt medical attention. Time matters in acute pancreatitis to reduce risk of complications.

  • Lifestyle modifications: Avoid alcohol completely if it precipitated the episode; reduce dietary fat, adopt smaller frequent meals, maintain hydration, control blood lipids and sugars.

  • Follow-up is key: Even after an acute episode resolves, follow-up imaging and blood work may be needed to watch for pseudocysts or recurrent episodes.

  • Plan for associated gallbladder disease: If gallstones were the trigger, cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) may be recommended once safe. Delaying may increase risk of recurrence.

  • Know your centre: Dr. Rawat’s clinic is at 5 Church Road, Ramnagar Colony, Civil Lines, Agra. surgeoninagra.com+1
