Can anyone tell me if having an EUS with possible ERCP is a standard test for MP/SM? I went to a GI doc for the first time on Tuesday and he wants to perform this test. Can anyone tell me if they have had this type of study for the diagnosis?

Hi J, From what I've read neither EUS nor colonoscopy can see or diagnose MP. Personally I've had 6 EUS in the last 10 years, some with ERCP and they never mentioned seeing MP. But just last week on my annual MRI a new radiologist noticed the MP and also said he could see it on scans (MRI or CT) going back at least 6 years. Your doc probably wants to rule out pancreatitis, stones, etc.
