Parasetamole Bağlı Akut Pankreatit: Olgu Sunumu

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. AP morbiditesi ve mortalitesi yüksek olan bir hastalıktır. İlaçlar, alkol ve safra kesesi taşlarından sonra akut pankreatite yol açan en sık sebeplerdendir. Ağrı kesici ve antipiretik ilaçlardan parasetamol tüm dünyada ve ülkemizde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Hastalığın ciddiyeti düşünüldüğünde ve parasetamolün kullanımının yaygınlığı dikkate alındığında, AP' li hastalarda neden araştırılırken bu ilacın kullanımının da akılda tutulması gerektiğine dikkat çekilmiştir. Bu yazıda, öz kıyım amaçlı yüksek doz parasetamol alan ve klinik izleminde AP gelişen 18 yaşında bayan hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.
