7. Upper Abdomen Pain
Upper abdomen pain can also be a sign of acute pancreatitis. One of the first indication of a disorder or diseases which originate in an organ is pain in the location of the organ. Acute pancreatitis in particular usually manifests as pain in the upper abdominal area.
Medical professionals often ask the patient to pinpoint where the pain is exactly felt for the initial diagnosis. Since the pancreas is located just below the liver, the pain and discomfort may radiate only to the nearby regions of the body. Although this is a non-specific sign of acute pancreatitis, it is important to let your doctor know of the exact sensation to properly and quickly determine the issue.
