What is necrotizing pancreatitis?

Cleveland Clinic explains that necrotizing pancreatitis is “when pancreatitis inflammation is so severe that it causes tissue death (necrosis).” This can cause a battery of issues, according to the clinic.

Short-term complications include infection, which the clinic says occurs in up to 20% of cases, in addition to hemorrhaging and fluid collections in the surrounding tissues of the pancreas.

The clinic says that necrotizing pancreatitis happens in about 20% of pancreatitis cases. The organization says acute pancreatitis causes about 275,000 hospital stays in the U.S. per year.
