Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a rare entity in pregnancy, mainly caused by hyperlipidemia or gallbladder disorders. In many cases, symptoms of cholelithiasis and biliary sludge precede the presentation of AP.Diagnosis is based on clinical presenta­tion, laboratory investigations, and modern imaging methods such as abdominal mag­netic resonance imaging or magnetic reso­nance cholangiopancreatography. General management of mild AP in pregnancy is conservative and supportive, while severe AP should be treated in the intensive care unit. Endoscopic or surgical interventions are common. Biliary AP can be resolved with urgent ERCP sphincterotomy followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy, preferably in the second trimester when technical con­ditions are optimal and risk for the fetus and pregnant woman minimal. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be postponed after delivery when the third trimester ERCP is done. Hyperlipidemic AP is treated with lipid-lowering methods, sometimes even with a therapeutic delivery. Immediate para­thyroidectomy is indicated with primary hyperparathyroidism-induced AP.One of the
most common types, biliary AP, is associ­ated with better outcomes than non-biliary causes.
17.1 Historical Perspective
Acute pancreatitis (AP) during pregnancy is extremely rare. German gynecologist Wilhelm Joseph Schmitt (1760–1827), working in Wien, reported the rst case of pregnancy complicated by hyperlipidemic AP in 1818 [1] in a 30-year­old woman who died in the fourth month of her eighth pregnancy. William Lawrence (Fig.17.1) in 1831 [2] described the second case also with maternal mortality. It is difcult to conrm whether the AP (macroscopic description without a denitive microscopic diagnosis) started during advanced pregnancy. The pregnant woman was extremely thirsty during advanced pregnancy and postpartum. The inammation, sepsis, or possi­ble (gestational) diabetes mellitus (GDM) could be the cause. Mondière suggested a possible association between AP and pregnancy in 1836 [3]. Lawrence later collected a series of 53 cases. German author, Marcus, collected 44 cases up to 1930 [4]. Longmade and Edmondson [5] added nine personal cases. Sheehan, in 1940, rst rec­ognized the association between acute fatty liver

Fig. 17.1 Sir William Lawrence (Cirencester, July 16, 1783–London, July 5, 1867), son of a surgeon, helped the founding of the Lancet journal, was elected to the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1828 and became its President in 1846, and again in 1855. He also became a Serjeant Surgeon (an ofcer of the Medical Household of the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom). (From Wikipedia)

more common in East Asian countries, including China, where AP in pregnancy accounts for
4.25% of all (unknown whether only women all
both sexes are included) AP [20] or 1/441 preg­nancies [21].
Accurate assessment of disease incidence in pregnancy is complex. During normal pregnancy, patients expect some degree of abdominal pain. Therefore, mild disease may be underreported. Also, there is an issue with the denition of AP in pregnancy. Some included 10 months before par­turition, which ends up 10 months postpartum [22], while the standard denition of the postpar­tum period is 6 weeks [4]. In addition, some causes are attributed to biliary stones without denitive conrmation. Biliary sludge and gall­stones exist in 10% of people in Western coun­tries. The incidence rises in pregnancy, and it is questionable that gallbladder stones or sludge caused AP in some patients without denitive diagnostic elimination of all other causes. In some studies, nearly 70% of cases are secondary to biliary stones or sludge, followed by hyperlip­idemia and alcohol abuse in approximately 20% of cases, respectively [13, 23, 24]. Therefore, the discrepancy in incidence is due to [25] the following:
of pregnancy (AFLP) and AP.In 1952, four addi­tional cases were reported in France [6]. In 1955, Ross suggested a rise in intra-abdominal pres­sure, such as undue prolonged second stage of labor, as a pathogenesis of AP in pregnancy [7].
The rst report of postpartum AP seems to be by Haidlen in 1884 [8] and other early cases by Watts [9] and Deaver [10]. Joske collected per­sonal series of six patients with postpartum AP presentations [11].
17.2 Incidence
Incidence varies more signicantly than in the general population (England, Denmark, and the United States: 4.8–24.2/100,000 [12]), ranging from 1/1000 to 1/12,000 pregnancies, and rarely progresses to the necrotizing form [1319]. It is
• The rarity of the disease,
• The postpartum period up to 10 months,
• Different decades and countries,
• Underestimation due to underreporting,
• A small number of cases in studies,
• Multiple possible causes are not denitively excluded.
17.2.1 Age, Trimester, andRace
More and more women become pregnant at a more advanced age, and the incidence of AP in the general population increases with age [26]. The mean age in the two largest studies up to 1973 was 24.2 and 27 years, respectively [5]. Until 1951, primipara suffered from AP more often than multipara. The primipara is even more prone to AP if she has gallstones [5]. Current
17.2 Incidence
https://t.me/medicina_free
467
studies show that AP is more frequent in multipa­ras, 64–75% [13, 27, 28].
The Hispanic population has a higher inci­dence (0.1%) due to a higher risk for gallstone disease [29]. Alcohol-induced AP is rare in coun­tries, especially in the Middle East, where alco­hol consumption is forbidden.
AP appears more prevalent in advanced gesta­tion, most commonly in the third trimester [23, 24,
30, 31]. The trimester distribution depends on the
population studied and varies from 19 to 28% in the rst, 21 to 33% in the second, 43 to 78% in the third, and 2 to 38% in the puerperium [13, 25,
2729, 32]. The proportion of severe AP (SAP)
also ts the rule that frequency increases with ges­tational age (1st, 2nd, and 3rd at 0%, 11.1%, and
88.9%, respectively) with a much larger span [32]. The trimester distribution is consistent with (1) a potential lithogenic effect of estrogen during preg­nancy [13, 25], (2) a physiological type of insulin resistance in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy [33], (3) a progressive physiologic increase in both serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, with peak levels reached at term, in response to elevated estrogen levels, (4) possi­ble compression effect of the uterus on a biliary tree, pancreatic vessels and pancreas itself, and (5) signicant rise in intra- abdominal pressure due to prolonged second stage of labor [7].
17.2.2 Biliary
During pregnancy, cholelithiasis is the most com­mon cause of AP, accounting for up to 70% of cases [13, 17, 34]. The biliary cause is also the most common in puerperium [22]. Pregnancy increases the incidence of biliary sludge and stone, which can cause AP (see Sect. 16.1.3).
17.2.3 Hyperlipidemia/Dyslipidemia
Chylomicronemia occurs when plasma triglycer­ide levels exceed 1000mg/dL.The chylomicro- nemia syndrome is dened when chylomicronemia is accompanied by one or more of the following:
• Eruptive xanthoma (see Sect. 17.4): small yel­lowish papules, frequently with an erythema­tous base, appearing predominantly on the buttocks and elbows caused by deposition of large amounts of chylomicron triglycerides in cutaneous histiocytes,
• Lipemia retinalis (see Sect. 17.4): the retina has a salmon-colored, creamy appearance, and the retinal vessels are white,
• Abdominal ndings: abdominal pain, acute pancreatitis, or hepatosplenomegaly.
The association of hyperlipidemia with AP
during pregnancy was rst reported in 1818 and was the rst published case of AP during preg­nancy [1]. Until 1970, 101 reports were pub­lished, with 15 cases between 1956 and 1996 [35]. Previously, 1.7–6% of AP in pregnancy were attributed to hyperlipidemia [36, 37]. Currently, AP secondary to hyperlipidemia/dys­lipidemia has an estimated incidence of 1/25,000 births [38], or 10–56% of cases [31, 39, 40], much higher than 1–7% in the nonpregnant popu­lation [41, 42].
Failure to investigate chylomicronemia as a
cause of AP leads to underestimating its inci­dence. First, some cases are declared idiopathic due to a lack of lipid prole testing. This con­rms the importance of triglyceride (TG) levels pre-screening before initiating estrogen-related medical treatment such as IVF [43]. Second, determining the exact etiology of AP may be complicated by the role of ethanol in precipitat­ing severe hypertriglyceridemia. The same problem with dening etiology is present in hypothyroid patients or patients with DM.Third, within 24–48h of the onset of AP, in most patients, TG levels fall rapidly because of fasting, when the supply of chylomicrons from the intestinal absorption to the blood is cut off. Also, the therapy with hypocaloric IV u­ids decreases the secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) from the liver, further reducing the TG pool and decreasing its levels [44]. Therefore, if the lipid prole is not checked during admission, it could be falsely negative later. Additionally, the universal mild-

to-moderate hyperlipidemia secondary to AP should not be confused with marked hypertri­glyceridemia (HTG) that causes AP [45]. Whether the elevated TG is an epiphenomenon of the AP or the actual cause of the inamma­tion can be challenging to differentiate. The serum may be lactescent in 4–20% of the gen­eral AP population, and lipid levels increase above normal in up to 50% of patients with AP of any cause [4650]. HTG-induced AP is equally distributed across trimesters [31]. Approximately one-third of the women devel­oping HTG-induced AP during pregnancy were nulliparous [13, 51].
17.2.4 Alcohol Abuse
Idiopathic AP in pregnancy is considered alcohol­induced in 12.3–16.5 [25, 52]. Alcohol-induced AP could be even more prevalent (17.8% overall;
12.3% of 89 AP cases vs. 7% in other studies) [23, 53, 54] due to the inclusion of chronic pan­creatitis and the inclusion of Midwestern states with a high prevalence of alcohol use [55]. Some countries do not have alcohol-induced AP due to cultural differences and prohibitions [27]. The onset of alcohol-induced AP in the general popu­lation usually occurs in the fourth decade. The average alcohol consumption in patients who develop AP is 150g/day for 10–15 years before the initial presentation. Alcohol-induced AP is more commonly diagnosed during pregnancy probably because pregnant patients seek medical attention more commonly than female drinkers in the general population. Again, one must be cau­tious with the accusation of alcohol use as a cause due to its interrelation with hyperlipidemia.
17.2.4.1 Pancreatic Pseudocysts
Most pregnant patients with pancreatic pseudo­cysts are nulliparous (84%), and the majority
(61%) manifest in the third trimester. While some claim that pancreatic pseudocysts are most fre­quently associated with alcohol-induced AP in pregnant and nonpregnant patients, current data show that hyperlipidemia is the most common cause (Table 17.6). A signicant past medical history of alcohol misuse, AP, or both was eluci­dated in 38% [56]. Although 69% had no identi­able medical history, approximately a third had an undiagnosed predisposing factor—either familial hyperlipidemia or gallstones [56].
Non-gallstone AP in pregnancy is signi­cantly more prone to pseudocyst formation [13, 25, 35, 5760].
17.2.5 Primary Hyperparathyroidism
In the general population, PHPT is common, with its greatest frequency in postmenopausal women, up to 2–3% [61]. The incidence in women of childbearing age (<40 years) is approx­imately 8/100,000 per year [62]. Approximately
0.5–1.4% of all PHPT occurs during pregnancy
[6365]. The most frequent cause of PHPT in the general population is a single parathyroid ade­noma (85%), followed by parathyroid hyperpla­sia (15–20%) and, very rarely (less than 1%), by carcinoma [66, 67]. Hunter and Turnbull described the rst case of PHPT during preg­nancy in 1931 [68]. More than 100 cases have been reported in the English literature between 1931 and 1990 [62] and less than 200 until 2015 [6974]. Parathyroid adenomas, as in the non­pregnant population, are the most common cause of PHPT during pregnancy (81.2%) [75]. At least three different causes may explain the relative paucity of data: (1) The average age of the initial manifestation of this disorder is higher than that

of women of childbearing age [61, 66, 67]; (2) about 80% of nonpregnant individuals with PHPT are characterized by an asymptomatic course of this disease [69]; and (3) some symp­toms of PHPT may be misinterpreted as a simple consequence of pregnancy or other gestation­related disorders, while physiological changes during gestation may mask some abnormalities typical to PHPT [73, 76].
There is a 28-fold increased risk of AP in PHPT patients compared to the general popula­tion [77]. Whereas some series have suggested an association between PHPT and AP, community­based studies showed no increase in the incidence of AP among patients with PHPT compared with matched controls [72, 78]. PHPT is a rare etiol­ogy of hypercalcemic-induced AP, causing 0.4– 2% of cases in the general population and signicantly higher 7–13% during pregnancy [27, 63, 6972, 79]. Others found a wide range of incidences of PHPT-induced AP in the general population of 1–12% [72, 8082].
The simultaneous occurrence of PHPT and AP in pregnancy has only been reported 13 times until 1998 [70, 8391]. There were no cases dur­ing the rst trimester, and >90% had thyroid ade­noma (89%) and only one thyroid carcinoma. There is an increased incidence of cholelithiasis in the general population with PHPT [92]. Therefore, the question is the real cause of AP during pregnancy in some PHPT cases.
17.2.6 Preeclampsia/Eclampsia
Between 1956 and 2007, 15 cases of AP were thought to be associated with preeclampsia [93].
17.2.7 Pancreatic Neoplasms
Pancreatic neoplasms, both benign and malig­nant, are uncommon during pregnancy. The most common are cystic pancreatic lesions, with 13 published cases diagnosed during pregnancy [9498]. The rst report was in 1968 by Smithers etal. [95]. In the general population, pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasms occur almost exclu­sively in females. Only 11 cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma [99] and 3 pancreatic neuroen­docrine tumors were reported. Pancreatic cancer manifested as AP in a single case [99] with pan­creatic adenocarcinoma.
17.2.8 Acute Fatty Liver ofPregnancy
For the description of acute fatty liver of preg­nancy (AFLP), see Sect. 16.2.4.2. Approximately 15% of AFLP patients develop postpartum AP [100], which could be attributable to pancreatic ischemia [100].
17.3 Etiopathogenesis
17.3.1 Introduction
Mnemonics for etiology of AP is “IT GET SMASHED”: Idiopathic, Trauma, Gallstones,
Ethanol, Tumor, Steroids, Mumps, Autoimmune, Scorpion venom, Hyperlipidemia, ERCP, Drugs.
A comprehensive list of causes in the general population also applies to the pregnant popula­tion, with slightly different incidences (Table17.1).

Elevation of intra-abdominal pressure leading to high pancreatic ductal pressure [101] and increased tonus of Oddi’s sphincter may be other possible mechanisms to induce or promote AP of any cause.
The trigger events or precipitating factors for AP in 60% of pregnant women are associated with an excess high-fat/high-protein diet. The
favored explanation may be that large amounts of bile/trypsin release can overwhelm the defense mechanism and activate other enzymes, resulting in local and systemic complications [102].
An additional factor in pregnancy is GDM. Severe diabetic ketoacidosis and hyper­glycemia with associated dehydration could trig­ger AP in pregnancy. DM is a part of a metabolic syndrome (see Sect. 17.3.5). Idiopathic AP is diagnosed in 10% of cases [24], with a declining incidence as the knowledge of genetic causes, exogenous etiologies, and more precise diagnos­tic imaging accumulate.
17.3.2 Biliary
During pregnancy, gallstones and biliary sludge are accused as the most common causes of AP, causing pancreatic duct/ampulla of Vater obstruc­tion with pancreatic hyperstimulation that increases pancreatic duct pressure, trypsin reux, and activation of trypsin in the pancreatic acinar cells. The enzyme activation within the pancreas causes autodigestion, followed by local inam­mation (Fig. 3.2). Pregnancy does not primarily predispose the pregnant woman to AP, but it does increase the risk of cholelithiasis and biliary sludge formation (see Chap. 16) [13]. Biliary AP occurs several years later (28.2 years) than non­biliary AP (24.4 years). In both groups, pregnant women were usually multiparous, and AP was mainly in the third trimester [24]. Global differ­ences in the distribution of etiologies of AP exist (see Sect. 17.2), with a tendency for higher inci­dence during pregnancy than postpartum (Fig.
17.2) [103].
