What is acute severe pancreatitis Acute severe pancreatitis is a type of pancreatitis caused by various reasons of large amounts of pancreatic enzymes oozing out to digest their own tissues, pancreatic alveoli, blood vessels in large areas of necrosis, extensive hemorrhagic necrosis of pancreatic tissues leading to a critical condition, and the condition develops more quickly, with more complications and a higher mortality rate.
Common causes of acute severe pancreatitis include binge drinking, overeating, trauma, surgery, and renal failure. The pancreatic enzyme digestive fluid in the pancreatic duct leaks out, thus digesting the pancreatic tissue and blood vessels and fat, and there is extensive bleeding and necrosis. Patients may have obvious persistent drilling pain in the middle and upper abdomen, and the spread of the exudate may lead to full abdominal pain, and there will be persistent fever, which may be accompanied by gastrointestinal bleeding and bleeding of the skin and mucous membranes, and so on.
Acute severe pancreatitis is very critical and should be treated aggressively, otherwise hypotension or shock may occur, and may even be life-threatening.
