Abstract:
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common acute abdominal disease in clinical practice. As the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely associated with the severity and prognosis of AP. This article elaborates on the mechanism of action of NAFLD in the development and progression of AP and further points out that NAFLD can induce AP and aggravate its severity through many ways.
