Hello

Effect of acute pancreatitis depends upon severity of infection.
Acute pancreatitis patients recover in majority of the cases.However some may develop abscess,pseudocyst or duodenal obstruction.
Acute pancreatitis can be divided into mild and severe pancreatitis.
Ranson Criteria is used to determine severity of acute pancreatitis.In severe pancreatitis,amount of necrosis determine the further clinical outcome.

You may have repeat ultrasound to assess pancreas.It is good that you are so active physically.

Get well soon.
Take Care
