Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Abdominal Pain Be Related To Half Of The Pancreas Being Very Dense ?
I went to the dr because abdominal pain. actually it is sort of under right rib. I had an ultrasound done(pelvic and abdomen) results were my pancreas was "too thick" so dr ordered enzyme test and ct scan. blood tests show that my pancreas puts out too much insulin and ct shows half of pancreas is normal density, other half very dense. So she is now sending me to a gastro dr and i need an mri she said. What would cause these findings?
Hi. Good you have undergone the tests. But the pain under the right rib may not be directly related to the pancreas findings. Indirectly it can cause the pressure symptoms in the bile system causing the pain you described. So the need of MRI.
