Acute & Chronic Pancreatitis Presented By: Ehsan Arefnia June 2012
Anatomy Retroperitoneal Organ Weighs 75 To 100 G 15 To 20 Cm Long Head Neck Body Tail
Physiology • Three General Functions: • Neutralizing the acid chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach • Synthesis and secretion of digestive enzymes after a meal • Systemic release of hormones that modulate metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids
Definition and Incidence • Inflammatory disease with little or no fibrosis • Initiated by several factors • Develop additional complications • 300,000 cases occur in the united states each year leading to over 3000 deaths
Etiology • Biliary tract disease • Alcohol • Drugs • 30 meds identified • AIDS therapy: didanosine, pentamidine • Anti-inflammatory: sulindac, salicylates • Antimicrobials: metronidazole, sulfonamides, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin • Diuretics: furosemide, thiazides • IBD: sulfasalazine, mesalamine • Immunosuppressives: azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine • Neuropsychiatric: valproic acid • Other: calcium, estrogen, tamoxifen, ACE-I • Hypertryglycerides • Greater than 1000 mg/dL • Trauma • External • pancreatic duct injury • Surgical • CABG, Organ transplant, ERCP, Billroth II, Splenectomy • Pancreatic duct obstruction • Neoplasms • Pancreas divisum • Ischemia • Hypoperfusion • Atheroembolic • Vasculitis • Ampullaryand duodenal lesions • Infections • Mumps, CMV, EBV, Coxaci, ECOV,HBV, Herpes • HIV • 35 to 800 times greater risk of AP c/w general pop. • Hypercalcemia • Most often secondary to hyperparathyroidism • Hereditary • Venom • Scorpion, spider, Gila Monster, lizard bites • Pregnancy • Third trimester until 6 weeks post partum • Chinese liver fluke • Cystic fibrosis
Etiology: (GET SMASHED) G: Gallstone E: Ethanol T: Trauma S: Steroid M: Mump A: Alcoholism or Autoimmune S: Scorpion bits H: Hyperlipidemia E: ERCP D: Drugs
Differential Diagnosis • Pancreatitis • Acute Cholecystitis • Cholangitis • Perforated Viscous • MI • Severe Pneumonia • Intestinal Obstruction • Ruptured Aaa • Diverticulitis • Bowel Ischemia • Appendicitis • Caecal Perforation • Ruptured Ectopic
Clinical Presentation • Abdominal pain • Epigastric • Radiates to the back • Worse in supine position • Nausea and vomiting • Tachycardia, Tachypnea, Hypotension, Hyperthermia • Elevated Hematocrit • Cullen's sign • Grey Turner's sign
Grey Turner sign Cullen’s sign
serum amylase Nonspecific Returns to normal in 3-5 days Normal amylase does not exclude pancreatitis Level of elevation does not predict disease severity Urinary amylase P-amylase Serum Lipase Serum Electrolytes Hypocalcaemia (Poor prognosis) Hyperglycemia (Poor prognosis) Hypoalbuminemia CBC Increased Hb Thrombocytosis Leukocytosis Liver Function Test Serum Bilirubin elevated Alkaline Phosphatase elevated Aspartate Aminotransferase elevated Diagnosis: Biochemical
Assessment of Severity • Ranson Criteria • Biochemical Markers • Computed Tomography Scan
Admission Age > 70 WBC > 18,000 Glucose > 220 LDH > 400 AST > 250 During first 48 hours Hematocrit drop > 10 points Serum calcium < 8 Base deficit > 5.0 Increase in BUN > 2 Fluid sequestration > 4L Ranson CriteriaCriteria for acute gallstone pancreatitis <2 pos sign: mortality rate is 0 3-5 pos sign: mortality rate is 10 to 20% >7pos sign: mortality rate is >50%

Treatment of Mild Pancreatitis • Pancreatic rest • Supportive care • fluid resuscitation – watch BP and urine output • Pain Control • NG tubes and H2 blockers or PPIs are usually not helpful • Refeeding(usually 3 to 7 days) If: • Bowel Sounds Present • Patient Is Hungry • Nearly Pain-free (Off IV Narcotics) • Amylase & Lipase Not Very Useful
Treatment of Severe Pancreatitis • Pancreatic Rest & Supportive Care • Fluid Resuscitation – may require 5-10 liters/day • Careful Pulmonary & Renal Monitoring – ICU • Maintain Hematocrit Of 26-30% • Pain Control – PCA pump • Correct Electrolyte Derangements (K+, Ca++, Mg++) • R/O necrosis • Contrasted CT scan at 48-72 hours • Prophylactic antibiotics if present • Surgical debridement if infected • Nutritional support • May be NPO for weeks • TPN vs. enteral support (TEN)
Complications • Local • Phlegmon, Abscess, Pseudocyst, Ascites • Involvement of adjacent organs, with hemorrhage, thrombosis, bowel infarction, obstructive jaundice, fistula formation, or mechanical obstruction • Systemic • A. Pulmonary: Pneumonia, atelectasis, ARDS, Pleural Effusion • B. Cardiovascular: Hypotension, Hypovolemia, Sudden Death, Nonspecific ST-T wave changes, Pericardial effusion • C. Hematologic :Hemoconcentration, DIC • D. GI: Hemorrhage, Peptic ulcer, Erosive gastritis, Portal vein or splenic vein thrombosis with varices • E. Renal: Oliguria, Azotemia, Renal artery/vein thrombosis • F. Metabolic :Hyperglycemia, Hypocalcemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Encephalopathy, Sudden Blindness (Purtscher's retinopathy) • G. CNS: Psychosis, Fat Emboli, Alcohol withdrawal syndrome • H. Fat necrosis: Intra-abdominal saponification, Subcutaneous tissue necrosis
Definition and Prevalence • Incurable, Chronic Inflammatory Condition • 5 To 27 Persons Per 100,000 • Fibrosis • Alcohol
Etiology • Alcohol, 70% • Idiopathic (including tropical), 20% • Other, 10% • Hereditary • Hyperparathyroidism • Hypertriglyceridemia • Autoimmune pancreatitis • Obstruction • Trauma • Pancreas divisum
Signs and Symptoms • Steady And Boring Pain • Not Colicky • Nausea Or Vomiting • Anorexia Is The Most Common • Malabsorption And Weight Loss • Apancreatic Diabetes

Treatment • Analgesia • Enzyme Therapy • Antisecretory Therapy • Neurolytic Therapy • Endoscopic Management • Surgical Therapy
Complications • Pseudocyst • Pancreatic Ascites • Pancreatic-Enteric Fistula • Head-of-Pancreas Mass • Splenic and Portal Vein Thrombosis
