Preeclampsia combined with pancreatitis is a rare condition in pregnant and postpartum women, potentially leading to severe complications. Severe pancreatitis is even more uncommon, making early diagnosis, detection, and appropriate treatment essential. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted with scleral jaundice; severe pancreatitis was identified during examination. After magnetic resonance imaging confirmation, prompt and appropriate treatment was provided, resulting in a favorable outcome.

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
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...
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:

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
