How soon after discharge from the hospital for review of severe pancreatitis



Usually the critical pancreas is reviewed in the hospital about a month after discharge.

Pancreatitis is an inflammatory injury with multiple etiologies, the main mechanism being that the pancreatic tissue has developed its own digestion for some reason, leading to edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis in the pancreas. The main treatments are medical and surgical.

After the pancreatitis is cured and discharged from the hospital, it is necessary to have a review in about a month in order to prevent the condition from becoming unstable. The specific review program varies depending on the cause of the disease.

Patients are required to do CT examination, serum amylase examination; if it is due to secondary hyperlipidemia, then also check the lipid profile; if it is secondary to cholelithiasis, it should be rechecked whether there is a recurrence of stones; if pancreatitis has led to pseudocysts, then it is necessary to review the situation of pseudocysts.

The onset of pancreatitis is critical, even if you are discharged from the hospital, you should not let your guard down, and timely review can be done earlier to prevent it.
