“…Although the previous studies have demonstrated male predominance in the NAFLD population, the exact mechanism is not comprehensively understood (6). However, the present retrospective study discovered that the prevalence of NAFLD in women was higher than that in men, which can be possibly explained by the fact that women have a higher percentage of essential body fat, or by the tendency of men to consume more alcohol (17), which in turn can result in alcoholic hepatitis -and that was an exclusion criterion in the present study.…”

AIM: To investigate the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and incidence of maintenance haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: We enrolled patients diagnosed with CKD between 2001 and 2007. The patients were categorized into two groups based on abdominal ultrasound fi nding, namely those with NAFLD and those without NAFLD. The disease (maintenance haemodialysis)-free survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses was used to evaluate the hazard ratios of covariates for the incidence of maintenance haemodialysis. RESULTS: A total of 161 patients (61 with NAFLD and 100 without NAFLD) were enrolled. The mean age was 69.3 years. The mean follow-up was 7.4 years. The patients with NAFLD had an increased incidence of maintenance haemodialysis (39.3 % vs 24.0 %; p = 0.0396) and inferior disease-free survival rate (p = 0.006). Furthermore, diabetes (p = 0.0126) and proteinuria (p = 0.0003) were identifi ed as signifi cant predictors of CKD progression. CONCLUSION: NAFLD was associated with an increased incidence of maintenance haemodialysis and inferior disease-free survival rate. NAFLD may impair renal function and patients with renal impairment should be monitored carefully (Tab. 3, Fig. 1, Ref. 25).

“…Different studies have documented the prognosis of acute pancreatitis patients in relation to underlying etiological factors; every study has shown different statistics in their region. 8,9 Developed countries like USA, UK, Japan, and china where alcohol consumption is higher than the developing countries are also linked to higher mortality rates in alcohol associated pancreatitis because chronic consumption of alcohol predispose the patients with liver cirrhosis and pancreatitis which affects the outcome in these patients and leads to poor prognosi. On the other hand, some of the studies also observed that pancreatitis caused by gallstones has more severe and insidious onset and is associated with higher mortality than alcohol induced AP.…”

Objectives: To determine the clinical outcome of acute pancreatitis in relation with major etiologies (Gallstones, Alcohol, and Drugs). Study Design: Cross sectional hospital based study. Setting: Aga Khan University Hospital. Period: 16 years (from 1st January 2001 to 30th June 2016). Methods: All patients with acute pancreatitis admitted. Major risk factors of pancreatitis such as gallstones, alcohol, and drugs were evaluated and outcomes assessed for the development of complications and mortality. Results: We evaluated 3049 patients with acute pancreatitis, the causative agents found, 80.35% (N = 2450), followed by Alcohol 13.05% (N = 398) and drugs 6.59% (N = 201), respectively. Patients with alcohol abuse were relatively older 53.74 years compared to patients with gallstones 39.54 years and drugs induced 43.26 years AP. Among them, the overall complication rate was 5.05% (N = 155). The most common complication was development of sepsis 45.8% (N = 71) and the overall mortality rate observed was 0.91% (N = 28). Conclusions: Gall stones are the leading cause of acute pancreatitis while drugs are the rare cause, however in significant number of patients cause remained obscure. Based on the above results patients with drug induced pancreatitis have good outcome as compared to gall stones and alcohol induced acute pancreatitis, however further studies warranted.

Ethnic differences in risk factors of acute pancreatitis

Abstract: Taiwanese aborigines were reported to be more susceptible to alcohol-related pancreatitis than nonaborigines. The decreasing levels of excessive alcohol consumption may reduce the disease burden of acute pancreatitis.
