A member asked:

Does anyone know if chronic pancreatitis can cause your abdomen to be itchy in the upper right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unsure: Pancreatitis can lead to biliary obstruction. This would cause you to become jaundiced (skin and eyes turn yellow). Once people get to a certain level of jaundice they can start to itch all over. This is caused by deposits of bile salts in the skin. I have never heard of this being centered on ne area though.
