Your pancreas becomes inflamed when you have pancreatitis. A sizable gland located behind the stomach and next to the small intestine is the pancreas. Your pancreas primarily does two things: It helps you digest food by releasing potent digestive enzymes into your small intestine. It causes your body to release glucagon and insulin. Your body uses these hormones to regulate how it uses food for energy. When digestive enzymes start to function before your pancreas releases them, your pancreas may become damaged. The doctor will likely press on your abdomen to determine whether it is tender and check your blood pressure, fever, and pulse rate to see if you have acute pancreatitis. X-rays or imaging exams like a CT scan or MRI can reveal whether the pancreas is calcified and help diagnose chronic pancreatitis. Your physician will examine your stool for excess fat, a sign that the pancreas is no longer producing enough enzymes to process fat, and take blood samples. To determine how effectively the pancreas releases digestive enzymes, you might undergo a pancreatic function test. Diabetes may also be examined in you. Two digestive enzymes, amylase, and lipase are measured in your blood to help your doctor determine if you have acute pancreatitis. You most likely have acute pancreatitis if you have high levels of these two enzymes. The white blood cells, blood sugar, calcium, and liver function in your blood will also be examined. You might be given potent painkillers if you have an acute pancreatitis attack. It might be necessary to have a tube inserted through your nose to drain your stomach. If the attack lasts a long time, you might need intravenous nutrition and hydration (through a vein).
