Depending on the severity of the condition, the clinical course of acute pancreatitis (AP) might vary, and it is essential to estimate the likelihood of organ failure in order to start appropriate treatment and care as soon as possible. As a result, individuals who may be at high risk ought to be admitted to a high dependence unit. Three choices are available to us for risk assessment: (1) Severe AP can be predicted using univariate biochemical indicators.

About 10% to 20% of cases of acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis result in pancreatic pseudocysts, which typically go away on their own. Only individuals who experience symptoms like jaundice due to biliary system compression, gastric outlet obstruction, or abdominal pain, or who have an infection, should receive treatment.

The mainstay of therapy for patients with choledocholithiasis-induced obstructive pancreatitis is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Cholangitis, or inflammation or infection of the common bile duct caused by ERCP, is an uncommon consequence that has a significant fatality rate in extreme situations. One month after ERCP, we report an uncommon instance of incidental findings of strong FDG uptake in the common bile duct without clinical signs of acute cholangitis, which is suggestive of CBD inflammation linked to or exacerbated by ERCP.

: It has been shown that metrics like the Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI) and the Controlled Nutrition Status (CONUT) score are useful for evaluating patients’ nutritional status. Our goal in this study was to examine the possible advantages of CONUT and the PNI as a predictive indicator of acute pancreatitis.

The preferred treatment for choledocholithiasis is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and stone extraction, which can successfully clear the common bile duct (CBD) in as many as 90% of cases. The best diagnostic accuracy for CBD stones is provided by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which has a sensitivity and specificity range of 89–94% and 94–95%, respectively.
