Diabetes mellitus as a consequence of acute severe pancreatitis: Unraveling the mystery.
World Journal of Diabetes 2023 August 16
The occurrence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in pancreatitis is being increasingly recognized lately. Diabetes can develop not only with chronic pancreatitis but even after the first episode of acute pancreatitis (AP). The incidence of diabetes after AP varies from 18% to 23% in 3 years and reaches up to 40% over 5 years. The exact pathogenesis of diabetes after AP is poorly understood and various mechanisms proposed include loss of islet cell mass, AP-induced autoimmunity, and alterations in the insulin incretin axis. Risk factors associated with increased risk of diabetes includes male sex, recurrent attacks of pancreatitis, presence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and level of pancreatitic necrosis. Diagnosis of post-pancreatitis DM (PPDM) is often excluded. Treatment includes a trial of oral antidiabetic drugs in mild diabetes. Often, insulin is required in uncontrolled diabetes. Given the lack of awareness of this metabolic disorder after AP, this review will evaluate current information on epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis and management of PPDM and identify the knowledge gaps.
