Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 << Could it possibly be that the individuals who do have alcohol as a cause of their pancreatitis may somehow already be predisposed to get pancreatitis if the right trigger is present. Maybe if they never drank they would get it anyway from another trigger,such as GB surgery or high triglycerides? >> Dear Amy, I'll wager you're probably absolutely correct. It would be interesting to know if there ARE currently any statistics about cross-cause or potentiality based on various histories. Heck, it would be interesting to know if there are any current statitics PERIOD. I have no clue; I surely wish I did. Terry in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
