The pancreas is an essential organ involved in both digestion and blood sugar regulation. It produces digestive enzymes that help break down food and hormones such as insulin that regulate glucose levels. Diseases of the pancreas can cause severe abdominal pain, digestive problems, weight loss, diabetes, or jaundice. Early diagnosis and specialist management are essential to prevent complications and preserve pancreatic function. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a wide range of pancreatic disorders using advanced imaging, endoscopic procedures including ERCP and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), and evidence-based medical care.

Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that can range from a mild illness to a life-threatening condition. The most common causes are gallstones and excessive alcohol consumption, although certain medications, high triglyceride levels, infections, and other conditions may also be responsible.
