A member asked:
Hi docs! wondering what additional complication of chronic pancreatitis is a concern for physicians?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: chronic pancreatitis can cause recurrent abdominal pain, and can be quite difficult to treat and control. at some point, if the pancreas keeps getting burned out, you may start seeing some symptoms and signs of pancreas dysfunction, such as diabetes, fatty stool, malabsorption, etc.
