Post-ERP pancreatitis as a model for cytokine induced acute phase response in acute pancreatitis.

Post-ERP pancreatitis as a model for cytokine induced acute phase response in acute pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS By contrast with animal models, in most cases it is not possible to examine the systemic response in patients in the first hours after onset of acute pancreatitis. The aim was to determine whether endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERP)-induced pancreatitis can be used as a human model for the study of cytokine release and acute phase response in the first hours o...

Familial hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis: A case report

Acutepancreatitis can infrequently be a life-threatening complication of hypertriglyceridemia. Rarely, hypertriglyceridemia can originate from an inborn genetic error in lipoproteins metabolism. This condition can be manifested by very high serum triglyceride levels (>1000 mg/dl) and a more severe and lethal form of pancreatitis. Here, we present a case of acute pancreatic which was found out t...

Pancreatic Metastasis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Presenting as Acute Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis as a model of SIRS.

Acute pancreatitis is a common clinical condition. Excessive systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in acute pancreatitis leads to distant organ damage and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), which is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in this condition. Development of in vivo experimental models of acute pancreatitis and associated systemic organ damage has enabled us...
