Hi.. Jaundice in Pancreatitis could be because of multiple reasons like biliary obstruction, sepsis and underlying liver disease. It is very important to know the cause for pancreatitis. A good cross sectional imaging like CE MR abdomen with MRCP would be helpful in deciding the further course action. I'm sure CMC guys will do the needful.
