Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is a medical emergency that requires urgent care and prompt resuscitation. Common causes include binge alcohol consumption, gallstones, infections, and certain medications. Timely identification and management of risk factors are essential to prevent recurrence. The severity of acute pancreatitis can be stratified using validated scoring systems such as Ranson’s criteria, the Glasgow score, or APACHE scores. Effective management involves adequate pain control, fluid resuscitation, close monitoring of vital signs, and timely escalation of care when necessary (e.g., mechanical ventilation or surgical intervention). Prevention focuses on adopting a healthy lifestyle and avoiding alcohol and smoking.
