Abstract:
In acute pancreatitis, coagulo-fibrinolytic abnormalities may easily result in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The prognosis will become very poor, once bleeding necrosis or circulatory failure also occur in important internal organs other than the pancreas, leading to multiple organ failure. Changes in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis system may be greatly involved in the severity of acute pancreatitis. In medical treatment, it is necessary to be cautious of predictors of severity, and to perform the early diagnosis of DIC along with quick and positive intensive management.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
