[Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy].
Acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is rare but serious, potentially leading to maternal complications. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are crucial for improved maternal-fetal outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics
- Gastroenterology
- Perinatology
Context:
- Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition with limited data on pregnancy complications.
- Information on maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant patients with pancreatitis is scarce.
Purpose:
- To investigate the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by acute pancreatitis.
Summary:
- A retrospective study analyzed 9 cases of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy, with an incidence of 39/100,000 live births.
- The mean gestational age at diagnosis was 31 weeks; all neonates had adequate development.
- One maternal death occurred due to metabolic acidosis and ARDS, highlighting the severity of the condition.
Impact:
- Acute pancreatitis incidence increases with gestational age, posing risks to pregnant women.
- Emphasizes the need for prompt symptom recognition, accurate diagnosis, and comprehensive management for better maternal-fetal prognosis.

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and 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...
