Clinical Observation of Acute Liver Damage in Patients with Acute Pancreatisis

Objective:To investigate the causes for and prognosis of acute liver damage in patients with acute pancreatitis.Method: A total of 137pancreatitis patient with acute liver damage treated in our hospital from 2003 to 2006 were included in this study.The etiology of acute pancreatitis and results of laboratory test for liver function were analyzed.Result:The patients with acute liver damage accounted for 53.03% of all the patients in the same period of time.For which,the patients with billiary pancreatitis accounted for 66.44%.High levels of serum glutamicpyruvicor serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase(46 3%),or elevated serum bilirbin(42.6%)were the main types of acute liver damage.Higher levels of serum or urineamylase,White blood cell count and glucose were significantly correlated to acute liver damage(P0 05).However,these verity degree of acute pancreatisis,renal function damage,respiratory insufficiency and the formation of pancreatic pseudo cyst were not significantly correlated to the damage(P0 05).Conclusion: Acute liver damage is a common extra pancreatic organ functional disorder in patients with acute pancreatitis.It might be developed as a result of systemic body inflammatory reaction has no definite relation to prognosis of acute pancreatitis.
