Step 1 / 2 · Diagnosis (2 of 3)

Does it meet the diagnosis (2 of 3)?

💡 Two of three: 1) typical abdominal pain (persistent epigastric/LUQ pain radiating to the back); 2) lipase or amylase >3× ULN; 3) typical findings on imaging (contrast CT/MRI/ultrasound). The first two alone are diagnostic — imaging is not required.
