- how does it happen? pathophysiology
- Investigations
- Management
- Prognosis & Epidemiology
- Acute pancreatitis can be very serious, even life
threatening, but most patients can expect
complete recovery.
- Acute pancreatitis can become chronic
if pancreatic tissue sustains damage
and scarring occurs

- Infections:
mumps, coxackie,
CMV
- Acute ischemia
(shock)
- Trauma,
blunt,
- iatrogenic Genes:
PRSS1, SPINK1
- Idiopathic,
10-20%
- controlled by CCK and vagal
stimulation
- neutralizes
acid in lumen
- digests fat
and protein
products
- CO2 diffuses to the interior of the cell
from blood (carbonic anhydrase).
- CO2 combines water to form carbonic acid.
- It, in turn, dissociates into bicarbonate ions
and hydrogen ions.
- H+ are exchanged for sodium which supplies the
sodium ions → ductal lumen → electrical neutrality.
