Acute Pancreatitis: Clinical Presentation and Diagnosis

By
Dr.Varun Tyagi

Surgeons and General Practitioners often encounter patients of Acute pancreatitis who are shouting in severe pain in emergency. But how do you diagnose Acute pancreatitis from a wide range of diseases that can exhibit similar presentation? Why not Cholelithiasis? Why not Acid Peptic Disease (APD) or Cholangitis? Let’s find out the basics of Acute Pancreatitis, explaining the concepts in following segments:

Etiology

  1. Biliary Colic: Small Gall Stones that tend to pass to Common Bile Duct (CBD) and block sphincter of oddi. Occurs in 50-70% cases.
  2. Alcohol abuse: Ethanol causes intra-cellular accumulation of digestive enzymes and their premature activation and release. Additionally, it increases the permeability of ductules, allowing enzymes to reach the parenchyma and cause pancreatic damage. Occurs in 25% cases.
  3. Post-ERCP
  4. Abdominal trauma
  5. Following biliary, upper GI or cardiothoracic surgery
  6. Ampullary tumor
  7. Drugs: Corticosteroids, Azathioprine, Valproic acid, Thiazides, Oestrogen
  8. Hyperparathyroidism
  9. Hypercalcemia
  10. Pancreas Divisum: is a congenital anomaly in the anatomy of the ducts of the pancreas in which a single pancreatic duct is not formed, but rather remains as two distinct dorsal and ventral ducts
  11. Autoimmune pancreatitis
  12. Hereditary pancreatitis
  13. Viral infections like Mumps, Coxsackie B
  14. Malnutrition
  15. Scorpion bite
  16. Idiopathic

Clinical Presentation

  1. Pain: Sudden in onset, severe in intensity, constant in nature, refractory to usual doses of analgesics. Usually, first in epigastrium but may be localized to ether upper quadrant or felt diffusely whole abdomen. Radiates to back in 50% cases.
  2. Pain aggregated on lying supine and relieved on leaning forward (retro-peritoneal organ)
  3. Nausea, vomiting, and retching (sound of vomiting)
  4. Physical Signs include:
  • Tachycardia, Tachypnea and Hypotension
  • If with mild icterus: Biliary obstruction in gall stone pancreatitis
  • If Acute swinging pyrexia: Cholangitis
  • If bluish discoloration due to bleeding:

a. Flank: Grey turner’s sign

b. Umblicus: Cullen’s sign: A.P/Ectopic pregnancy/Trauma to liver

4. Per Abdomen:

  • Distension due to ileus
  • Ascites with shifting dullness (rarely)
  • Guarding in upper abdomen
  • Pleural effusion: 10-20% cases

Investigations: Diagnosis Criteria





The diagnosis criteria of Acute Pancreatitis can be made if:

  1. Clinical presentation with 3-4 times of normal Serum Amylase, i.e, greater than 200 U/L (Normal: 23-85 U/L)
  2. Serum Lipase greater than 200 U/L (normal 0-160 U/L)
  3. CT Scan

Management of Severe Acute Pancreatitis

  1. Admission to HDU/ICU
  2. Analgesics
  3. Aggressive fluid re-hydration guided with vitals, urine output and central venous pressure and blood gases (ABG)
  4. Frequent monitoring of hematological and biochemical parameters (including liver and renal functions, i.e, LFT and KFT), Clotting (PT-INR), Serum Calcium and Blood Glucose (RBS).
  5. Antibiotic Prophylaxis (Meropenam, Cefuroxime)
  6. Nasogastric Tube, i.e, RT if patient is vomiting
  7. CT Scan essential if organ failure, clinical deterioration or signs of sepsis develop
  8. ERCP within 72 hours for sever gall stone induced pancreatitis or signs of cholangitis
  9. Supportive therapy for organ failure if it develops (inotropes, ventilatory support, hemofiltration, etc.)
  10. If nutritional support is required, consider external (nasogastric) feeding

Complications

1. Systemic- More common in first week:

  • Cardiovascular- Shock
  • Arrhythmia
  • Pulmonary: ARDS
  • Renal failure
  • Hematological- DIC
  • Metabolic- Hypocalcemia, Hyperglycemia, Hyperlipidemia
  • GIT- Ileus
  • Neurological- Visual disturbances, confusion, irritability, encephalopathy
  • Miscellaneous- Subcutaneous fat necrosis, arthralgia

2. Local- Usually develop after first week:

  • Acute fluid collection
  • Sterile pancreatic necrosis
  • Infected pancreatic necrosis
  • Pancreatic abscess
  • Pseudocyst
  • Pancreatic ascites
  • Pleural effusion
  • Portal/Spelnic vein thrombosis
  • Pseudoaneurysm

We hope these notes help you correctly predict your diagnosis next time and create a better differential diagnosis when patient comes with these features.

Arterial Blood Gas Analysis: ABG Interpretation Made Easy

By
Dr.Varun Tyagi
-
0

We often encounter patients who are critically sick and need monitoring more than vitals like BP and Pulse rate. Patients are often required to be checked for Arterial Blood Gas Analysis to find what exactly is happening in the body of patient’s system. But it is often encountered that many students don’t know how to read ABG, and that’s why we are providing Arterial Blood Gas: ABG Interpretation Made Easy.

Normal Values to check in ABG

Before actually starting to interpret the ABG reports, one needs to remember the following normal values, without which, it is impossible to analyze anything. You can check all the values seen in ABG on wikipedia.

The basic components of Arterial Blood Gas are divided as follows:

  1. pH
  2. HCO3
  3. PaCo2

pH: 7.35-7.45

More than 7.45: Alkalosis

Less than 7.35: Acidosis

PaCO2: Arterial Pressure of CO2: 35-45mm Hg

Any disturbance means Respiratory cause.

More than 45mm Hg: Respiratory Alkalosis (could be compensatory)

Less than 35mm Hg: Respiratory Acidosis (could be compensatory)

HCO3: Bicarbonate: 22-26 mmol/L

Any disturbance means Metabolic cause.

More than 26: Metabolic Alkalosis (could be compensatory)

Less than 22: Metabolic Acidosis (could be compensatory)

Approach To Interpretation of ABG





Following are the steps one should follow when reading the Arterial Blood Gas and interpreting the values simultaneously:

1. See whether pH is within normal range or not. If not, then:

a. If Normal, the blood gas is compensated or not

b. If it outside range, then it is uncompensated or partially compensated

2. See whether PaCO2 is normal and:

(i) If PaCO2 normal, then:

a. pH: Normal, then blood gas is normal

b. pH decreased, then uncompensated metabolic acidosis

c. pH increased, then uncompensated metabolic acidosis

(ii) If the PaCO2 is higher than normal, then:

a. pH decreased and HCO3 is normal, then it is uncompensated respiratory acidosis

b. pH decreased and HCO3 above normal, then it is partially compensated respiratory acidosis

c. pH is between 7.35-7.40 and the HCO3 is elevated, then it is compensated respiratory acidosis

d. pH increased and HCO3 is elevated, then it is partially compensated metabolic acidosis

We hope this was pretty easy to remember, even if you cannot remember steps, just remember to go approach like: pH>PaCO2>HCO3. It will be easy once you start practicing. Once you have established the imbalance, you will be able to find out cause behind Acidosis/Alkalosis.

Like high ABG Acidosis refers to four causes: Ketoacidosis, Lactic acid acidosis, Renal failure and Toxins. Once you have established the cause and imbalance, you will be able to correct it in the patients.

[Clinical Notes] Cholelithiasis: Gall Stones History Taking Guide

By
Dr.Varun Tyagi

The Gall stones or Cholelithiasis are very frequently encountered with patients who typically present with epigastric or right upper quadrant pain. The doctor usually make diagnosis immediately based on the symptoms, however, are confirmed by radiological findings suggestive of Cholelithiasis or Gall bladder stones. We will be discussing the very core findings and the approach to Cholelithiasis in this post.

Types of Gall Stones

The first thing to know the causes of Cholelithiasis is, of course the types of Gall stones, so we can identify what etiology may be suspected in the patient. These are as follows:

1. Cholesterol: These are formed due to supersaturation which occurs in obesity, high calorie or patient on Oral contraceptive pills. Other causes include abnormal emptying of gall bladder or Ileal resection.

2. Pigmented Stones: Pigmented or colored stones are again of two types:

Black Stones: Due to hemolysis, could be due to sickle cell anemia, hereditary spherocytosis, etc.)

Brown Stones: Due to bile stasis and infected bile or with foreign bodies such as parasites (ascaris lubricoides), stents.

3. Mixed Stones

Clinical Presentation in Cholelithiasis

Clinical findings in Gall stones are as follows:

  1. Right Upper Quadrant Pain/ Epigastric Pain which may radiate to back. The pain of cholelithiasis is colicky in nature or dull and constant.
  2. Dyspepsia, flatulence, food intolerance particularly to fats, alteration in bowel frequency.
  3. Nausea, vomiting due to biliary colic.

Effects and Complications

  1. Biliary colic
  2. Acute/ Chronic Cholecystitis
  3. Empyema of Gall bladder
  4. Mucocele
  5. Perforation
  6. Biliary obstruction
  7. Acute cholangitis
  8. Acute pancreatitis
  9. Bowel obstruction

It is often a good idea to get a CT scan done if complication occurs. A USG is done to confirm diagnosis. If jaundice occurs, MRCP may be done to exclude Choledocholithiasis.

If resolution doesn’t occurs, then it is followed as:

Empyema > Necrosis and Perforation > Localized peritonitis > Abscess > Abscess may perforate into peritoneal cavity with a septic peritonitis.

Diagnosis and Approach Considerations





Once the clinical suspicion is settled, one can move to radiological findings for final diagnosis as:

  1. Radiological support: USG-CBD, X-Ray, MRCP, MDR-CT, HID Scan, ERCP, PTC, EUS
  2. Murphy’s sign: Right upper quadrant tenderness that is exacerbated during inspiration by examiner’s right subcoastal palpation. (with leukocytosis and with increased LFT)

Important Note

Do check for Courvoiser’s law in the patients of Upper quadrant pain when suspecting gall stone pathology

Courvoiser’s Law: Palpable and Non-tender Gall bladder due to distal CBD (Common Bile Duct) obstruction due to peripancreatic malignancy and not Gall stones.

Treatment and Management of Gall Stones

The patient could present with 3 conditions which are as:

  1. Asymptomatic Gall Stones

  • Nil Per Oral (NPO) and Intravenous Fluids (IVF)
  • Analgesics
  • Broad spectrum antibiotics against Gram negative bacteria such as Cefuroxime, Cefazolin or Gentamicin
  • Subsiding: Oral fluids, then continue regular diet

2. Symptomatic Gall Stones

For Cholelithiasis with symptoms, Cholecystectomy (Open/Laparoscopic) is the choice.

3. Cholelithiasis with Diabetes, Congenital hemolytic anemia or bariatric surgery

Prophylactic Cholecystectomy

We hope the short notes were clear on the topic- Cholelithiasis or Gall Stones. Special thanks to Dr. Pranjal sir for the motivation for the topic.

Overview

Like we stated earlier, it is often easy to mug up text from theory books such as Harrison and Chugh or Matthews, but real exam comes when we have to handle the patient. That is the moment one has to apply his skills and make the diagnosis and treat the patient simultaneously. That, however, requires skills and a lot of practice indeed. Davidson 100 Clinical Cases PDF book gives doctors and students an idea about how to approach symptoms stated by patients. It provides them an opportunity to sharpen their skills and test their memory.

Davidson 100 Clinical Cases is definitely the best off-syllabus book that one should read and practice. It helps both Undergraduate students and Doctors, and MBBS Students widely use this book to enhance their clinical skills such as Clinical History Taking. Although reading Hutchinson and Arup Kumar Pearls in Medicine is suggested. The pattern of PG exams is changing, and more and more clinical questions are being added up. Davidson 100 Clinical Cases will help students practice these clinical questions, especially if they are preparing for NEET or PG Exams after MBBS. The book has over 391 pages with 100 chapters (cases).

The book also features separate sections called- “Biochemical and hematological values” & “Cardiovascular risk prediction charts”. These are quite helpful when referring to text without switching to other books.

Suggestions to those who are looking forward to establishing a clinical understanding in Medicine are as follows:

  1. Read this book and carry it during the practicals and OPD. Have a quick look at the case studies quickly as you approach the patient with established diagnosis. You will feel more confident as you keep practicing this approach.
  2. Learn to make Doctor-Patient relationship and learn how to approach them, deal with different types of patients and how to interact with them with the common tongue.
  3. Learn how to examine different systems. If you don’t know how to do them, your diagnosis is going to be incomplete, you cannot always rely on lab reports and your seniors, do you?
  4. If you need help, following are some posts that can greatly help you in clinical wards. They have been made short but explained to the level of a medical student. These are:

Not everyone, but there are indeed some real “Fake” babas in India who exploit their blind followers through some real bizarre, and gain fame and name.

Here’s one video that shows how people trust Babas over Doctors:
