Acute Pancreatitis
I suffered from abdominal pain and admitted to hospital. I was diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis in CT scan. However there was no cause to be found, I did not have gall stone and neither do I drink alcohol. Now I am symptom free and he has only prescribed pan 40. Dr has suggested for CA19.9 and IgG4 test. Does my symptom has any relationship with pancreatic cancer. My CT scan doesn't have any hint of tumour or anything. Please suggest.
