Best Answer

The pancreas may develop additional problems, even after the pancreatitis decreases. When the entire organ becomes swollen and suffers extensive cell death (pancreatic necrosis), the pancreas becomes extremely susceptible to serious infection.

What can cause necrosis and what does necrosis look like?

Necrosis can be caused by external or internal factors. External factors include blood vessels damage, mechanical trauma, and ischemia. Extremely high or low temperature can cause disruption of cells, which may result in necrosis. Internal factors like trophoneurotic disorder, pancreatic enzymes, injury and paralysis of nerve cells can also cause necrosis. Sometimes steroids can also cause necrosis.

What is fatty necrosis?

Fat necrosis is one of many types of necrosis. Necrosis is cell death with inflammation (different from apoptosis, which is without inflammation). Fat necrosis occurs in two forms. 1. Traumatic fat necrosis is the result of trauma. Cellular damage to fat-rich organs, such as the breasts, can lead to necrosis of the adipocytes. 2. Fat necrosis as a result of acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis. In this case, damage to the pancrease releases lipolytic enzymes into the blood, causing damage, and eventual necrosis of adipocytes.
