HelloThanks for writing to ChatDoctorYour wife is suffering from acute pancreatitis. This should be taken very seriously and need aggressive treatment because mortality and complications are very high in this condition. She should be managed in the line of acute pancreatitis and need daily monitoring of enzymes. If needed, contrast CT Scan of abdomen should be done to confirm complications. Hope I have answered your query. Take Care Chat Doctor.
