Abstract

Other causes include trauma, idiopathic, alcoholism, pancreatic carcinoma, septicaemia and diabetese mellitus. Out of 75 patients, 45 patients had complications including pseudo cyst, hypocalcaemia, pancreatic abscess, shock, ARDS and 17 patients with pancreatitis died of some complications.
