diagnostic criteria for acute pancreatitis. At least two of the following are required: (1) Elevation of lipase >3 times upper limit normal (i.e., >~500 U/L). (2) Characteristic abdominal pain. (3) Imaging evidence of pancreatitis on CT, MRI, or ultrasound. Patients not meeting these criteria don't have pancreatitis and should not be treated for it.
So here’s the list of signs and symptoms that may occur because of acute pancreatitis:

ICD-10-CM Code for Acute pancreatitis without necrosis or infection, unspecified K85. 90.
K85. 92 - Acute pancreatitis with infected necrosis, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Acute pancreatitis(K85)
ICD-10 code: K85. 90 Acute pancreatitis, unspecified Without mention of organ complication.
Acute pancreatitis is a condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed (swollen) over a short period of time. The pancreas is a small organ, located behind the stomach, that helps with digestion. Most people with acute pancreatitis start to feel better within about a week and have no further problems.
Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) is a health problem in which part of your pancreas dies. This is because of inflammation or injury. If the dead tissue gets infected, it can cause serious issues. The pancreas is an organ that sits behind your stomach. It makes fluids that flow through a duct into the small intestine.
The most common cause of acute pancreatitis is having gallstones. Gallstones cause inflammation of your pancreas as stones pass through and get stuck in a bile or pancreatic duct.
Imaging, primarily computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, plays an essential role in the diagnosis of necrotizing pancreatitis and the identification of complications, including infection, bowel and biliary obstruction, hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm formation, and venous thrombosis.

If you have chronic pancreatitis, the digestive enzymes that would normally travel by tubes inside your pancreas and empty into your upper intestine, become trapped inside your pancreas. This causes pain and scarring. The trapped enzymes slowly cause severe damage to your pancreas.
The main symptom of chronic pancreatitis is abdominal pain. The pain can be sudden and severe or you may experience more mild episodes of pain. For some patients, the pain is constant.
