Acute Pancreatitis Prof. Yousri Taher Head Of HPB Unit Alexandria University
Acute Pancreatitis • Is a discrete episodes of inflammation resulting from intrapancreatic activation of digestive enzymes. • It is a disease of wide spectrum of severity complications and outcome.
Spectrum of the disease • Acute edematous or interstitial Pancreatitis : mild , self limited in most patients Inflammation results in edema of the pancreas • Parenchymal damage is minimal • Pancreas recovers its function after resolution.
Hemorrhagic Pancreatitis (Necrotizing Pancreatitis). • May be extensive with progressive coagulative necrosis of the pancreas and surrounding tissues • Auto digestion of the organ leads to hemorrhage .The mass of inflamed pancreas and surrounding tissues is termed phlegmon.
Complications • Wide spread of inflammatory process • Any of the following organs might be affected : CBD ,duodenum, T colon splenic artery , and vein, spleen, Para renal spaces , lesser sac posterior mediastinum, abdominal wall and diaphragm . • Peritoneal surfaces leading to pancreatic ascites.
Complications • Leakage of protein rich fluid from systemic circulation into peritoneal and retroperitoneal spaces lead to hypovolemia and shock. • Systemic effects of these material include: cardiovascular instability respiratory failure and renal failure.
Complications • Hemorrhage : Cullen’s sign ,Turner’s sign, and DIC. • Pseudo cyst • Pancreatic abscess • Fat necrosis polyserositis and adult respiratory distress syndrome. • Pulmonary alveolar capillary membrane may be disrupted forming hyaline lining of alveoli .
Etiology • Alcoholism • Biliary tract disease • Surgery • Trauma • ERCP • Infections (viral, mycoplasma, Salmonella mycobacterium cryptosporidium.
Etiology *Metabolic disorders (Hypertriglyceridemia,pregancy,hypercacemia, hyperparathyroidism) *Drugs , vasculitis Anatomic abnormality annular pancreas ,choledochal cyst ,penetrating pepticulcer ,parasites ,renal failure ,renal transplantation .
Drug induced Acute Pancreatitis • Sulfonamides ,estrogen , teracycline, pills, azathioprine , furosemide, ethanol, methanol ,ACE inhibitor ,NSAID, isoniasid,rifampin,metronidazole, eryhthromycin .
Clinical Criteria For Severe Pancreatitis • Cardiac : BP < 90,tachycardia,ECG changes • Pulmonary : dyspnea , ARDS PO2< 60mmHg • Renal output less than 50 ml/h • Metabolic calcium < 8mg/dl, albumin < 3.2 mg /dl • Hematological: falling hematocrite and DIC • Abdominal distension, fluid wave ,and ileus
Physical examination • Fever tachycardia ,hypotension • Shock • Jaundice • Abdominal tenderness and rigidity • Ileus • Cullen's sign • Pleural effusion ,pneumonitis subcutaneous fat necrosis ,tetany.
Laboratory Tests • Elevated Serum amylase noted within 24 h persist for 3-5 days • Elevated Serum lipase • Urine amylase remains elevated for 7-10 days from onset. • Leucocytosis • Hyperglycemia • Jaundice • Arterial hypoxemia
Radiology • Plain film ileus, air under diaphragm sentinel loop • USG • CT Scan • ERCP
Differential DIAGNOSIS • ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS • BILIARY COLIC • CHOLANGITIS • PERFORATED VISCUS • ACUTE HEPATITIS ,ACUTE INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION • MESNTERIC VENOUS OCCLUSION
Treatment • 85=90 % self limited • Supportive care • Analgesia • Maintain intravascular volume • Monitor vital signs • Treat complications
Drug Treatment And Nutritional Support • PPI , somatostatin or octreotide (sandostatin ) • Prophylactic antibiotics • Intralipid • Enteral feeding is much better • Initial high carbohydrate diet low protein and fat.
For severe case • ICU is highly indicated • Necresectomy • Pancreatectomy • Decompress Biliary tract • CT guided percutaneous drainage of necrotic pancreas , Endoscopic drainage
For Acute Biliary Pancreatitis • Urgent Endoscopic Sphincterotomy is a must as soon as possible within 72 hours of onset of symptoms
Chronic Pancreatitis • Result from progressive destruction of the pancreas by inflammation and fibrosis • Exocrine pancreatic tissue and function are lost earlier • followed by Endocrine parenchyma And function
Classification • Obstructive : Tumors, scar of Parenchymal inflammation , congenital anomalies • Infiltrative and autoimmune diseases such as hemochromatosis, Sjogren syndrome.
Classification • Chronic calcifying Pancreatitis Alcohol, cigarette smoking Hyperparathyroidism Hypocalcaemia Hereditary autosomal dominant CCP • Cystic fibrosis
Clinical Presentation • Abdominal pain • Malabsorption • Vitamin B12 deficiency • DM • Obstructive jaundice
Physical Examination • Epigatric tenderness • Mass, pseudocyst • Weight loss bleeding tendency • Jaundice
Diagnosis • Serum amylase ,lipase • Increased stool fat> 30 -40 g /day • USG and CT scan • ERCP • EUS
Treatment • Stop alcohol or tobacco • Feedback control • Percutaneous injection of alcohol • Surgery • Drainage procedures • Acid suppressant therapy • Nutritional support
Pancreatic cancer • Exocrine pancreatic cancer account for 95% of pancreatic cancer • 75 -85% arise from pancreatic duct epithelium • Islet cell tumor represent 5 % • Manifest themselves by hormone they secrete • Tumors may secrete gastrin, insulin ,glucagon ,VIP, pancreatic peptide somatostatin
Warnings Signs Of Pancreatic Cancer • Unexplained Recent upper abdominal pain • Recent upper abdominal pain with retroperitoneal lesion • Jaundice with weight loss • Weight loss greater than 5 % • Unexplained acute Pancreatitis • Unexplained onset of DM
Diagnostic Tools Of Pancreatic Cancer • CA19.9 • CEA • USG focal pancreatic lesion • CT scan • ERCP • Angiography • Fine needle Aspiration • EUS • Laparoscopy • MRI
Treatment Options • Surgery is the best if early ; 5% are resectable • Chemo radiation • Palliative drainage Endoscopic Percutaneous Surgical
