@ladyaceintx1 Are the doctors sure the biopsy procedure itself didn’t cause the pancreatitis? EUS/FNA carries a small risk of causing pancreatitis.

Hi,
I already had a diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis and yes, the EUS with Biopsy did cause the Acute Pancreatitis which ended in a hospital admission on Thanksgiving day.. The physicians there think the Chronic pancreatitis is the autoimmune type and I have to wait 2 weeks for those results.
Thanks for your input.
