Objective: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammatory disease of pancreas which could affect the neighbouring and distant organs in varying degrees. It occurs usually in mild forms and resolves without complications. But sometimes it may be severe with local or systemic complications. Local complications include pancreatic abscess, pancreatic and peripancreatic necrosis and pancreatic pseudocysts. Systemic complications include acute renal failure, shock and respiratory failure. Alcohol and biliary causes are the most common causes of AP in Europe, in Turkey biliary AP is the most common form. Additionally alcohol, hyperlipidemia and hypercalcemia are the other etiologic factors. Here we aim to evaluate the patients who were hospitalized with AP in our clinic and we aim to define the etiologic factors.
Material and Method: Patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of AP between March 2014 and May 2015 in Gastroenterology department of Adana Numune Education and Research hospital, were included, retrospectively. 335 patients were included in the study. Demographic data and the etiologies of acute pancreatitis were recorded. Results: 335 patients [226 females (%67.5) and 109 males (%32.5)] with a mean age of 55.17±19.74 years, were included in the study. The etiologies of AP were gallstone [n=235 (%70.1], hyperlipidemia [n=19 (%5.7)], and alcohol [n=16 (% 4.8)]. The most suspected drugs causing AP were diuretics, ACE inhibitors / ARBs and metronidazole . Conclusion: Acute pancreatitis occurred mostly in females and was mostly caused by gallstone in our clinic. |
