Brief Answer:
Pancreatitis is unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me advise you, that if CT scan is normal,it's not kidney pain.
You've written, urine shows blood and protein.
Both are confirmatory of kidney disease.
Pancreatitis doesn't cause flank pain, and is seen on CT scan usually.
If you send her blood, urine and CT scan reports, i can give you an expert opinion.
Wish her well.
