Abstract:
Objective: Acute pancreatitis(AP) often impairs peripancreatic tissues and involves more distant organs,such as the liver,which would exacerbate the progression of the disease.This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of acute pancreatitis-associated liver injury.Methods: We randomly retrieved 156 cases of AP from the medical records retrieval system of Jinling Hospital,of which 102 were complicated by liver injury.The latter were divided into a severe AP(n=44) and a mild AP group(n=58) for comparative analysis of the severity of liver injury and time of recovery.Results: Liver injury occurred in 65.38% of the AP patients,and it was more serious,had a longer disease course and took more time to recover in the severe than in the mild AP group.Conclusion: The incidence and severity of acute pancreatitis-associated liver injury are positively correlated with the severity of acute pancreatitis.
