Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is one of the causes that deter­mine acute, recurrent or chronic pancreatitis, in varying degrees, both in adults and children, through the mul­ti­tude of etiological factors involved, such as: systemic vas­cu­lar disease, medications administered, substances used for dialysis, alteration of calcium metabolism, hyper­li­pae­mia. This association of factors contributes to in­creased morbidity and mortality in patients already suf­fering from a chronic disease. The diagnosis of acute pan­creatitis in patients with chronic kidney disease is al­tered by the following causes: loss of renal function, al­te­ration of pancreatic enzyme levels, uremia.
