Acute Pancreatitis

Overview

Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that causes severe abdominal pain and systemic symptoms. It often results from gallstones or alcohol use, leading to enzyme activation within the gland and tissue injury. Prompt medical attention is essential to manage inflammation, prevent complications like necrosis or organ failure, and support pancreatic recovery. Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari offers advanced, evidence‑based care for acute pancreatitis in Indore, combining critical care protocols with minimally invasive interventions when necessary.

Symptoms and Types

Common Symptoms

Patients typically present with intense upper abdominal pain radiating to the back, nausea, vomiting, fever, rapid heartbeat, and abdominal tenderness. Laboratory tests often reveal elevated pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase).

Etiological Types

• Gallstone‑induced pancreatitis: Occurs when gallstones obstruct the pancreatic duct

• Alcohol‑related pancreatitis: Linked to heavy or chronic alcohol consumption

• Hypertriglyceridemia‑induced: Associated with very high blood lipid levels

• Drug‑ or toxin‑related: Triggered by certain medications or toxins

• Idiopathic: No identifiable cause

Treatment We Provide

Dr. Tiwari initiates acute management with hospital admission, aggressive fluid resuscitation, pain control, and nutritional support—preferably via enteral feeding. Gallstone pancreatitis is addressed with early endoscopic removal of stones (ERCP) if indicated. In severe or necrotizing cases, minimally invasive necrosectomy or drainage procedures are performed under image guidance. Multidisciplinary care involving gastroenterologists, intensivists, and nutritionists ensures comprehensive recovery.
