Abstract
A review of the literature reflects numerous instances of acute pancreatitis developing in patients while being treated with drugs. The causative relation is not yet definitively established but, in several instances, there appears to be a probable relation. The literature records at least 112 patients with drug-induced acute pancreatitis. Fifty-one instances were caused by steroids or ACTH, 6 by estrogen, 2 by azathioprine, 16 by diuretics, 2 by hypercalcemia, 24 by chemotherapy, 3 by clonidine and phenformin, 2 by warfarin and 1 each by salicylate, L-asparaginase and d-propoxyphene. In addition, many patients experienced acute pancreatitis while receiving immunosuppressive therapy after renal transplantation.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
