Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a sudden inflammatory condition of the pancreas. The present study recorded independent risk factors of acute pancreatitis.
Methods: The present study was conducted on 50 patients of acute pancreatitis of both genders. A detailed general and systemic examination was done in all patients. History of smoking, alcoholism, hypertension, weight, obesity and diabetes was taken.
Results: Out of 50 patients, males were 45 and females were 5. There was history of smoking in 20 patients, alcoholism in 15, weight >70 kg in 38, hypertension in 10, diabetes in 24 patients and obesity in 12 patients. The difference found to be significant (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Authors found that smoking, alcoholism, hypertension, diabetes, weight >70 kg and obesity as independent risk factors of acute pancreatitis.
