So today we finally get this from Dr. D.
Naomi's final blood test result, the Prometheus IBD Serology 7, has just been received at my office and the results are negative. That is, she does not have subclinical Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis that could cause recurring pancreatitis. This completes an exhaustive work-up for all known causes of pancreatitis and hepatitis. My best guess is that Naomi has a previously undescribed genetic syndrome leading to both chronic pancreatitis and hepatitis. At this point there is no additional treatment for Naomi.
Guess now we just do nothing? What do you do with information like this? I am at a loss.
