Abstract
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of pancreas caused by auto digestion of the gland by its digestive enzymes leading to destruction of the gland. The aim of the study is to assess different epidemiological factors associated with acute pancreatitis. Materials and Methods: Our study a cross-sectional descriptive study. This study includes a total of 69 patients admitted in the medicine department with acute pancreatitis during the year. A detailed history was taken and radiological, biochemical studies was done to evaluate the patients. Observation: there was male preponderance. Alcohol was the most common causative factor. Most of the patients were from age group 30-50.Plain radiograph of abdomen was not specific. USG whole abdomen and CECT abdomen was very sensitive. Serum amylase was elevated in all cases. Pain abdomen was most common symptom. Discussion: discrepancy in sex distribution may be due to difference in hospital admission rate in male and female. Amylase creatinine ratio is very helpful. CECT abdomen has very little advantage over usg in diagnosing acute pancreatitis
