Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Acute hepatitis is commonly associated with Acute Pancreatitis and Alcohol is the most common cause behind it.
However, there are many other causes too. Common ones are Gall bladder stones, High Triglyceride levels, Viral infections, Carcinoma head of pancreas, many drugs like Gliptins, antibiotics.
Even occasional alcohol consumption can be associated with Acute Pancreatitis, so that is kept as the first possibility in a person with acute pancreatitis with history of alcohol consumption.
Cysts , Psuedocysts can be ruled out on CT Scan of abdomen, that must have been performed and have been detected if any.
So, i would recommend you to get his Lipid profile done, and if any deranged levels of triglycerides found, should be treated.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
