Summary

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process which causes a local and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Although the majority of patients have a mild disease course, around 20% will develop moderate or severe pancreatitis, with necrosis of the (peri) pancreatic tissue and/or multiple-organ failure. Previous studies have correlated colonic involvement as a prognostic marker in acute pancreatitis. It is well known that translocation of the colonic flora may significantly influence the clinical course of patients with acute pancreatitis. The correlation between collection(s) around colon in CT finding and clinical outcomes has not been studied in necrotizing pancreatitis. In current study, the investigators will do a prospective observational study correlating collection(s) around the colon and clinical course of patients in acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
