What is the prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: This is a very severe disease which can lead to infections, multiple surgeries, bleeding, pseudocyst formation and even death. Prognosis is better with early recognition and aggressive initial treatment.
