Reciprocal “cause-effect” relationship between acute pancreatitis and liver dysfunction

Bidirectional Relationship Between Diabetes and Acute Pancreatitis

The proposed bidirectional relationship between acute pancreatitis (AP) and diabetes has never been examined with the same source of data. Furthermore, the effects of disease severity on this relationship have not been fully evaluated. The present study employed the findings from a single database to measure the strength of the association between AP and diabetes. Findings from 1 million Nation...

Relationship Between Acute Benzodiazepine Poisoning and Acute Pancreatitis Risk

We designed a population-based retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between the event of benzodiazepine (BZD) poisoning and the risk of acute pancreatitis.In the present study, 12,893 patients with BZD poisoning during 2000 to 2011 were enrolled and matched with 4 comparison patients according to mean age and sex. We determined the cumulative incidences and adjusted hazard ...

Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Pancreatitis: an Uncommon Cause of Pancreatitis

Cause-effect relationships between zymogen activation and other early events in secretagogue-induced acute pancreatitis.

We have hypothesized that the colocalization of digestive zymogens with lysosomal hydrolases, which occurs during the early stages of every experimental pancreatitis model, facilitates activation of those zymogens by lysosomal hydrolases such as cathepsin B and that this activation triggers acute pancreatitis by leading to acinar cell injury. Some, however, have argued that the colocalization p...

Relationship Between Cholesterolosis and Pancreatitis

(1990) Gallbladder cholesterolosis: an aetiological factor in acute pancreatitis of uncertain origin. Br. To investigate the possible relationship between gallbladder cholesterolosis and acute pancreatitis, we studied 3797 cholecystectomy specimens and found 55 cases of gallbladder cholesterolosis unassociated with biliary lithiasis. From the reviewed case notes, 27 of these patients presented ...
