Suggest Treatment For Acute Pancreatitis

My husband has suffered acute pancreatitis off and on for the last 7 years. Recently he was hospitalized and his liver numbers over 350. The liver and digestive disease specialist said his stomach wall is thick and ordered a MRI and a scope testing. What could this mean....A thicken stomach wall?

Hello,

Thick stomach wall can be an early sign of stomach cancer.

Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy and biopsy to make a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
