If your pancreas explodes will you die?!


Question: First, no organ in your body has the ability to explode. But if your pancreas is inflamed and swollen and you have pancreatitis and it is left untreated, yes you can die. The pancreas is one of the vital organs that you cannot live without.

The treatment for pancreatitis is no food. A complete liquid diet.
The pancreas produces the chemicals necessary to digest food. Sometimes, it tries to digest itself or produce to much of the chemical needed to digest food which causes problems. It also controls insulin for the body. It also tells the gallbladder when to release bile after it senses food has been ingested.

If the pancreas stops working it causes, flu like symptoms and great pain. The theory for a liquid diet is that if no food is passing through digestive tract then the pancreas won't react and produce the chemical needed to digest food and thus limit the inflamation.

If your pancreas explodes and is untreated it will eventually kill you. Your pancreas is a sac that holds poision basicly.

I'm not sure your pancreas can "explode" per se, but it can rupture or tear. If this happens it's important to receive medical attention immediately. If left untreated a ruptured or torn pancreas could most certainly be fatal.

If anything inside you explodes my guess is there will be a death. Or a very near death if you are lucky enough to get to the doctor quick enough.

Yes, you will die, my father died from it. Your pancreas holds acid, so it will burn your insides. he died within 2 weeks of it happening. i believe it is called acute pancreitis, or something like that.

Yes. The only reason for it to explode, however, is if you get hit by an exploding object. Pancreases don't explode by themselves.
