Question

My brother has been dealing with chronic pancreatitis for the past 4-5 years. Every time he gets treated, doctors find his lipase and amylase levels are abnormally high. They manage it with drips and painkillers until he stabilizes, then slowly reintroduce his diet. This cycle keeps repeating. Is there any permanent solution whether it's medication, surgery, or even an organ transplant? He doesn't drink or use any drugs, and he's just a regular student. What options do we have to stop this from happening again?

Chronic pancreatitis has very limited Treatment options. What is the mri/ mrcp findings. If pancreatic duct is large then it can be diverted ( operated). Other wise there is no specific treatment except pain management. For pain management various options including nerve blocks can be tried.
