Relationship between Acute Pancreatitis and New-onset Diabetes / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Pancreas is an integrated organ with both endocrine and exocrine functions. Insulin is secreted from the pancreas islet B cell and is the only hormone that could reduce blood sugar and play an important role in glucose homeostasis. Pancreatic disease can result in diabetes mellitus in some cases. Although acute pancreatitis is the most common disease of pancreas,the relationship between acute pancreatitis and new-onset diabetes has been ignored. However,many researches have shown recently that acute pancreatitis is associated with new-onset diabetes. Blood glucose monitoring is warranted for patients after acute pancreatitis with important significance.
