if a disease is acute then it can be reversed (ie cured by surgery or drugs)
it's very hard to do the initial diagnosis in pancreatitis coz it can be related to something else. If there is a pain in the region where the pancereas is(severe pain), then the doctor can suspect something wrong with the pancreas (also bouts of diabetes will enhance suspicion)
there are some lab tests which can be carried out to confirm . . like testing for blood pancreatic enzyme levels. . and increase from normal will point to pancreatitis
