Severe pancreatitis is a type of pancreatic disease and is relatively serious, requiring prompt attention from patients. It may result from inflammatory changes and is often accompanied by disorders of other organs. Patients may suffer kidney damage leading to renal failure. Once identified, further examinations and treatment are necessary.
