Signs or Symptoms of Acute Pancreatitis:
Acute pancreatitis usually begins with pain in the upper abdomen that
may last for a few days. The pain may be severe and may become
constant--just in the abdomen--or it may reach to the back and other
areas. It may be sudden and intense or begin as a mild pain that gets
worse when food is eaten. Someone with acute pancreatitis often looks and
feels very sick. Other symptoms may include
- swollen and tender abdomen
- nausea
- vomiting
- fever
- rapid pulse
Severe cases may cause dehydration and low blood pressure. The heart,
lungs, or kidneys may fail. If bleeding occurs in the pancreas, shock and
sometimes even death follow.
