Patient's question:
Recently, I've been having stomach problems, and sometimes the pain is severe. I really can't take it anymore, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor found that I have acute necrotizing pancreatitis with hypocalcemia. What is this disease? So, I wanted to ask the doctor what the situation is and if it can be cured.Doctor's answer:
The patient should be referring to acute necrotizing pancreatitis. It is often accompanied by a severe decrease in blood calcium and is directly related to the degree of blood calcium reduction. It is the most severe form of pancreatitis, frequently endangering the patient's life and leading to systemic respiratory and circulatory failure. In terms of treatment, it is recommended that the patient be admitted to the ICU of a hospital as soon as possible. Generally, drugs that suppress bicarbonate excretion, inhibit pancreatic enzyme activity, and suppress gastric acid excretion are administered to provide symptomatic and supportive treatment.
