Abstract

Objective: Fat accumulation in the liver and pancreas are clinical manifestations of metabolic syndrome associated with inflammation. It aimed to investigate the effects of the computed tomography (CT) estimated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) on the development of acute pancreatitis in this study.
Patients and methods: This retrospective and cross-sectional study consisted of 194 participants admitted to the hospital with an abdominal pain complaint and underwent an abdominal CT scan during the investigation of the differential diagnosis. Medical database records of patients were investigated. Groups were consisted of according to the presence of acute pancreatitis as study and control. Attenuation measurements of the liver and pancreas were determined according to abdominal CT.
Results: A statistical significance was observed for the development of acute pancreatitis when patients with normoglycemia were compared to patients with prediabetes and diabetes. Percentages of NAFLD and NAFPD according to the median of CT attenuation difference between pancreas and spleen values were elevated in the study group. A logistic regression model revealed that prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD, and NAFPD, according to median value, were risk factors for acute pancreatitis (p<0.001, =0.001, =0.02, and =0.022).
Discussion: NAFLD and NAFPD, according to the median value of patients without pancreatitis, were determined as independent risk factors for the development of acute pancreatitis.
