What are the consequences of pancreatitis?

Acute pancreatitis can be mild or severe, and once severe disease occurs, it is seriously life-threatening and has a very high mortality rate. In addition, if pancreatitis patients do not receive effective and thorough treatment for a long time, it will turn into chronic pancreatitis. The pancreatic tissue gradually necroses and becomes encapsulated with pus, which leads to pancreatic abscess. In addition, the damaged pancreas can also involve several organs of the body and cause various complications, such as peptic ulcer, upper respiratory tract bleeding, and multiple organ failure. In short, pancreatitis is like a bomb buried in the human body, which may break out at any time, so we must pay attention to pancreatitis, and once diagnosed, we must treat it promptly and thoroughly to eliminate hidden dangers.
