Does Periportal Lymphnodes Affect Acute Pancreatis?

I was hospitalised for acute pecreastits and was discharged after 20 days. One week after I was dicharged my blood test report showed Lipase - serum result at 386. Mt dotor asked me to get CT Scan of upper abdomen. The report shows ' small subcentimeter sized periportal lymphnodes'.

I am concerned if these are going to affect my pencreas and what I need to do?

Kindly advice,
