Definition

It is an acute inflammation of the pancreas characterized by elevated pancreatic enzymes and severe abdominal pain.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Acute pancreatitis from any cause may be life-threatening especially if it progresses to necrotizing pancreatitis. However, in last several years it has come down due to advances in diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Common Causes

  • Gallstones
  • Alcohol
  • Smoking[1]
  • Pancreatic tumor[2]
  • Medication such as 5-Mercapto-purine, azathioprine, 5-DDI24010098
  • Hypertriglyceridemia
  • Post - ERCP
  • Metabolic - Hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.
  • Infections
  • Toxins such as venom of brown recluse spider, certain arachnids etc.
  • Pregnancy
  • Idiopathic
  • Ischaemic necrosis of pancreas from vascular sources such as vasculitis and atherosclerosis.
