S78 Outcomes of Acute Pancreatitis in Pregnancy: A National Study

Abstract

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) during pregnancy is a rare but severe disease with a high maternal fetal mortality. The most common causes for AP in pregnancy are gallstone pancreatitis which can be attributed to hormonal changes in pregnancy and familial hypertriglyceridemia. Management strategy for gallstone pancreatitis in pregnancy is with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the second trimester. However, management of AP of any other etiology is conservative like in non-pregnant individuals.
