You said it: Acute pancreatitis depending on the severity likely to have abnormal labs you mentioned. High WBC is caused by inflammation, low rbc and hematocrit caused by the bleeding within the pancreas or from dic, creatinine and BUN can be elevated when kidneys are failing etc.

Pancreatitis : Pancreatitis can give all those abnormal labs, however very high level of lipid can lead to pancreatitis and abnormal blood test. It is crucial to consult a pancreas expect who will repeat and analyses those labs and will request further imaging.
