A member asked:

When you get pancreatitis from ercp procedure will you get it again? or are you prone to get it again from other things?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

No: Post Ercp pancreatitis is a common self-limited complication of this procedure that should resolve. Gallstones and alcohol are the most common causes of recurrent pancreatitis.
