Thanks for your query about your uncle.
Noted the reports and current medications and that your uncle is suffering from chronic pancreatitis since 2003 - medications he is taking and wants to know what should be done.
The reports are very old from 2003 to 2009.
The USG in 2003 showed pancreatic calculi
