Early stage of pancreatitis usually does not lead to itching of the skin, often manifested as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. Itching of the skin can occur when combined with cholestatic jaundice.
Pancreatitis is an inflammatory injury of the pancreas, including acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Early symptoms of itchy skin usually do not appear, acute pancreatitis early with persistent severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, chronic pancreatitis with recurrent episodes of epigastric pain, nausea, lethargy, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Biliary tract diseases are the most common cause of pancreatitis. Biliary tract stone obstruction can induce pancreatitis and can also lead to cholestatic jaundice. When jaundice occurs, the stimulation of bilirubin in the blood leads to itching of the skin, but it is not directly caused by pancreatitis.
Therefore, itchy skin in the early stage of pancreatitis may be combined with other diseases, and it is recommended to consult a specialized doctor for diagnosis.
