Steroid Kullanımına Bağlı Gelişen Akut Pankreatit: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Year 2013, Volume: 4 Issue: 1, 35 - 37, 01.01.2013

Abstract

Akut pankreatit (AP) tipik olarak karın ağrısı ile başlayan ve genellikle pankreasın inflamatuvar hastalığı sonucu kan ve idrarda
pankreas enzimlerinin yüksekliği ile birlikte seyreden akut bir klinik
tablodur. Yirmi beş yaşında bayan hasta yaklaşık 4 gündür devam
eden, sırta vuran tarzda ve sürekli vasıfta karın ağrısı, bulantı, kusma
yakınmalarıyla acil servise başvurdu. Hastanın özgeçmişinde bilinen sistemik bir hastalığı olmadığı, 15 gün önce ürtiker nedeniyle
yapılan toplam 120 mg Metilprednizolon (İV) sonrasında karın ağrısının başladığı öğrenildi. Yapılan fizik muayenesinde konjuktivaları
soluk, skleralar subikterik, epigastrik bölgede hassasiyet ve minimal
rebound tespit edildi. Laboratuvarda amilaz 957 U/L (Normal değer: 36-128) ve lipaz 1193 U/L (Normal değer: 22-51) düzeyleri yüksek tespit edildi. Bilgisayarlı üst-alt batın tomografisinde pankreas
baş kısmı normalden geniş ve heterojen olarak tespit edildi. Komşuluğundaki duodenum II. kısmında hafif diffüz duvar kalınlaşması
mevcuttu. Çekilen Manyetik Rezonans Kolanjiyo-Pankreatografi’si
(MRCP) normal olarak değerlendirildi. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda
hastaya AP tanısı konuldu. Etiyolojide ilaç kullanımı dışında AP’ye
neden olabilecek başka bir patoloji saptanmadığı için steroid kesildi. Oral beslenmesi kesilerek, parenteral sıvı-elektrolit desteği sağlandı. Steroidin kesilmesinin 6. gününde pankreas enzim düzeyleri
amilaz 99 U/L, lipaz 87 U/L olarak geriledi. Hasta yatışının 9. gününde Gastroenteroloji servisinden şifa ile taburcu oldu. İlaca bağlı AP
nadir görülmekle birlikte, steroid kullanımı sonrasında gelişen karın
ağrısı, bulantı ve kusma şikayetleri de AP tanısını akla getirmelidir

Case Presentation of Acute Pancreatitis Related to Steroid Therapy

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute clinical state which generally results from inflammation of the pancreas and typically presents with abdominal pain and high levels of pancreatic enzymes in the blood and urine. A twenty-five year -old woman admitted to emergency service with complaints of abdominal pain spreading back and unremitting, nausea and vomitting during the previous four days. Her medical history was unremarkable. It was learned that her abdominal pain began after she was treated with methylprednisolone 120 mg intravenously 15 days earlier. Her physical examination showed sensitivity and rebound in theepigastric region. Levels of amylase and lipase were 957 U/L and 1193 U/L , respectively. Abdominal computer tomography of the pancreas reported that the head region was wider than normal and heterogenous. The second part of the duodenum had diffuse wall thickening. Since no reason other than drug was found, steroid therapy was discontinued. Oral intake was stopped and fluid and electrolyte replacement were begun parenterally. The levels of amylase and lipase diminished to 99 U/L and 87 U/L (respectively) six day after discontinuation of steroid therapy. She was discharged from the gastroenterology unit on the ninth day of hospitalization. Whereas AP related to drug is rare, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting during steroid therapy make the physician consider AP for the differential diagnosis
