Drug-induced pancreatitis.

A Mallory, F Kern

    Bailliere'S Clinical Gastroenterology
    |April 1, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary

    Drug-induced pancreatitis is a rare but serious condition. This review identifies drugs strongly or suggestively linked to pancreatitis, often via immune responses or hypertriglyceridemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Drug-induced pancreatitis is a recognized adverse effect.
    • Identifying causative agents is crucial for patient safety and clinical management.
    • The exact mechanisms underlying drug-induced pancreatitis are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review the English-language literature on drug-induced pancreatitis.
    • To evaluate the validity of reported associations between specific drugs and pancreatitis.
    • To categorize drugs based on the strength of evidence linking them to pancreatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature search of English-language studies.
    • Inclusion of studies reporting drug-induced pancreatitis.
    • Assessment of evidence strength for drug-pancreatitis associations.

    Main Results:

    • Strong evidence links azathioprine, thiazides, estrogens, furosemide, 6-mercaptopurine, methyldopa, sulfonamides, sulindac, tetracycline, and valproic acid to pancreatitis.
    • Suggestive evidence exists for numerous other drugs, including chemotherapy agents, corticosteroids, and antibiotics.
    • Pancreatitis is a rare complication, with pathogenesis often involving immune responses or drug-induced hypertriglyceridemia.

    Conclusions:

    • Several drugs are strongly associated with pancreatitis, while others have suggestive links.
    • Pancreatitis is an infrequent adverse drug reaction.
    • Understanding the mechanisms, such as immune response and hypertriglyceridemia, is vital for prevention and treatment.
