Actual (reported)The main reason for this research study is to find out more about acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis in children. There are few studies on childhood pancreatitis, so diagnosis and treatment are based on adult studies. This limits our understanding and treatment of these disorders in children. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a tool used to assess and diagnose pancreatic disease. We can use ultrasound with shear wave elastography (SWE) to measure fibrosis (scarring) of the pancreas. We can use SWE on both EUS and transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) systems. Both TUS and EUS SWE have been studied for diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in adult patients, however they have not been studied in children. We plan to use EUS SWE and TUS SWE information in this study to help us understand pancreatitis in children. Children with pancreatitis and children without pancreatitis (controls) will be invited to participate in this study.

At time of EUS procedure
Calculated BMI
6 months (3 months prior to endoscopic ultrasound through 3 months post-endoscopic ultrasound)
Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis
6 months (3 months prior to endoscopic ultrasound through 3 months post-endoscopic ultrasound)
Chronic Pancreatitis
6 months (3 months prior to endoscopic ultrasound through 3 months post-endoscopic ultrasound)
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

This arm includes two cohorts: 1. Children with confirmed diagnosis of ARP or CP 2. Controls (Children without a history of pancreatic disease)
TUS SWE will be performed using a Canon Aplio i800 ultrasound system and a curved 1-6 MHz transducer. 2D SWE will be performed with measurement of shear wave speed in the head, body and tail of the pancreas.
