Abstract
Acute pancreatitis associated with AHA is rare with an estimated frequency of 0-0.1%. Fifty-four documented cases, mostly in Asian patients, have been reported. The median age of patients is 16 years with a M/F ratio of 2. Acute pancreatitis occurs less than one week after the onset of jaundice and mostly in patients without FH. Acute pancreatitis in this setting is severe in 9% of patients with a mortality rate similar to all other causes of AP.
