Treatment begins with
Acute Stabilization
Cause Identification
Cause Treatment
Long-Term Support
This program is recommended for a confirmed diagnosis of acute or chronic pancreatitis.
You may need this if...
These signs may indicate that this treatment is the recommended course of care:
- A first or recurrent episode of acute pancreatitis
- Confirmed chronic pancreatitis with digestive symptoms
- Gallstones identified as an underlying cause
- Need for long-term pain and digestion management
A gastroenterologist's evaluation confirms whether this treatment is the right option for you.
What Does This Program Involve?
Acute episodes are managed with hospital-based supportive care, while chronic pancreatitis is managed with pancreatic enzyme support, dietary changes and treatment of the underlying cause.
Addressing gallstones, alcohol use or other underlying triggers significantly reduces the risk of future episodes.
When This Treatment is Considered
This program is recommended for a confirmed diagnosis of acute or chronic pancreatitis.
- A first or recurrent episode of acute pancreatitis
- Confirmed chronic pancreatitis with digestive symptoms
- Gallstones identified as an underlying cause
- Need for long-term pain and digestion management
The Care Pathway
1. Acute Stabilization
IV fluids, pain control and bowel rest manage an acute episode.
2. Cause Identification
Imaging and blood tests identify the underlying trigger, such as gallstones.
3. Cause Treatment
The identified cause is treated to reduce the risk of future episodes.
4. Long-Term Support
Pancreatic enzyme supplements and dietary guidance manage chronic disease.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
Most acute episodes resolve fully with supportive care, and chronic disease is well managed with enzyme support and dietary changes.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your gastroenterologist will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Acute episodes typically improve over several days in hospital; chronic disease is managed on an ongoing basis.
Your gastroenterologist will guide dietary changes and monitor pancreatic function over time.
Careful follow-up and guidance on diet and lifestyle all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
