Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis occurs in about 20% of patients with acute pancreatitis and can be associated with multiorgan failure. Acute renal failure caused by severe acute pancreatitis not only aggravates pancreatitis but also increases patient mortality. Peritoneal exudate contains many toxic substances such as amylase, lipase, phospholipase-A, trypsinogen, prostaglandins, kinin forming enzymes, and histamine releasing factor. Upon entering the circulation, these substances can cause complications, which are responsible for the majority of early deaths. This said, peritoneal dialysis is indicated to remove toxic materials from the peritoneal cavity and to manage acute renal failure. We report three acute peritoneal dialysis cases in acute renal failure associated with severe acute pancreatitis. (Korean J Med 77:S1246-S1252, 2009)
Key Words: Acute pancreatitis; Acute renal failure; Peritoneal dialysis
