Stay with your MD: Repeated mild Acute pancreatitis due to Inflammation, Infection, or other causes like oral Contraceptives/ medications, can, over time cause pancreatic scar tissue formation; aka Chronic pancreatitis which is also caused by chronic Alcohol use, Obstructive Liver/ pancreas diseases + more can all cause elevated alkaline phosphatase. Need to stay under the care of your MD to navigate to wellness.
