Hello,
To the question "How is the elderly with acute pancreatitis with gallstones treated?" The doctor's answer is as follows:
Acute pancreatitis and gallstones can sometimes be caused by stones in the gallbladder falling into the common bile duct, causing biliary obstruction and causing acute pancreatitis. In this case, you need to take her to the hospital for examination, accurate diagnosis and stone removal for thorough treatment.
If you still have questions about the elderly with acute pancreatitis with gallstones, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
