Abstract:
A 43-year-old woman with a medical history significant only for hepatitis B carrier status presented to an emergency department with generalized weakness, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea 36 h after eating an estimated 170 g of sautéed Lepiota subincarnata J.E. Lange (basionym Lepiota josserandii). Laboratory evaluation revealed profound metabolic acidosis with mild transaminitis, mild coagulopathy, and renal insufficiency. Marked biochemical evidence of pancreatitis was present prior to significant hepatotoxicity. The patient ultimately required liver transplantation on hospital day 7 and was discharged home on hospital day 12.

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.
