ERCP is a very important therapeutic tool and Acute Pancreatitis remains the most common and feared complication. The recognition of the risk factors for post ERCP pancreatitis and the high risk patients is highly desirable & in this study we evaluate the relation between post ERCP serum amylase level and the incidence of post procedure acute pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: The study was pe...

CONTEXT Acute pancreatitis has been reported in many cases after therapeutic ERCP. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 65 year man old who, after ERCP, manifested biologically acute pancreatitis. The patient was observed using dynamic MR pancreatography with secretin administration before and after the ERCP. The dynamic MR pancreatography prominently displays a radiological sign of early chro...

The original 1992 Atlanta Classification System for acute pancreatitis was revised in 2012 by the Atlanta Working Group, assisted by various national and international societies, through web-based consensus. This revised classification identifies two phases of acute pancreatitis: early and late. Acute pancreatitis can be either oedematous interstitial pancreatitis or necrotizing pancreatitis. S...

Background & aim:  Elevated triglyceride levels in women with hereditary forms of hypertriglyceridemia may involve the risk of pancreatic attacks during pregnancy. Case report:In this study, we present the clinical course of a 42-year-old pregnant woman with two vaginal deliveries and one cesarean section (gravidity: 4, parity: 3, live: 2, death: 1) admitted to our hospital. Gestational age was...

Acute pancreatitis is a disease that has varied clinical manifestations often requiring clinicians to rely on laboratory tests, such as serum amylase and lipase, as diagnostic aids.1,2 Patients with acute pancreatitis, however, can have normal amylase levels as a result of hypertriglyceridemia. 3 The aims of this report are to describe a case of acute pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceride...

Acute pancreatitis is a rare event in pregnancy, which can have a high maternal mortality and fetal loss. Gallstone disease is thought to be responsible for about 70% of these cases. Here, we present two cases of acute pancreatitis with preeclampsia-eclampsia in the third trimester of pregnancy which was initially not diagnosed as pancreatitis and as a result we lost one patient . Investigation...

Acute pancreatitis in acute liver failure carries significant morbidity and mortality. We review a case of severe acute pancreatitis recognized during liver transplant that evolved into necrotizing pancreatitis and subsequent loss of the native intrapancreatic common bile duct. The treatment and management of pancreatitis in liver transplant patients is poorly defined; the dissolution of native...

Pegaspargase is used to treat acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Pegaspargase definitely has its benefits in treating ALL; however we cannot lose sight of one of its very rare but potentially deadly complications, acute pancreatitis. Clinicians should monitor triglycerides while the patient is on treatment with Pegaspargase and suspect acute pancreatitis if the patient develops abdominal pain. I...

Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition that significantly impacts both patients and the healthcare system. The incidence of acute pancreatitis in the United States has been estimated to be 33-80 per 100,000 per year [1, 2]. From 1985-2005, hospitalizations rates for acute pancreatitis have nearly doubled, although case fatality rates have declined, likely attributed to improved therapeutic o...
