-Thickening of the GB wall 7 mm
(normal <4 mm)

1. Fluid Resuscitaion
normal saline 500 ml ringers lactate solution 500 ml (every 3 hour
on his 2nd day)
2. Antibiotic IV 100 ml (metronidazole)
3. Injection of perfalgan 100 ml (paracetamol) for analgesia.
4. IV omeprazole 20 ml (proton pump inhibitor) to suppress acidity
On the third day
1. Ceftriaxone 20 ml as antibiotic prophylaxis for the ERCP.
The consultant surgeon arranged for an ERCP for the patient.
DISCUSSION
ABP is the inflammation of the pancreas primarily due to biliary sludge and gallstones. There are 3
main types of gallstones: cholesterol-black pigment (in gallblader), brown pigment (bile ducts).
Pathogenesis of ABP has not been fully understood. There 2 theories were identified:
1. Reflux of infected bile into the pancreas pancreas activating a cascade of proteolytic enzymes
2. Obstruction causing acinar disruption from raised pressure.
There is no difference between early ERCP and conservative therapy in the absence of
obstructive, but since had a obsctructive jaundice ERCP was more efffective.
Case of an adult male, who was diagnosed by ABP, is mainly
caused by stones in GB.
Conservative medical therapy: fluid resuscitation, pain control
(morphine), nutrirional supoort (nasojejunal tubes), antibiotics.
Antibiotics used to prevent acute-intertitial-necrotizing and
chronic pancreatitis.
Early ERCP (endoscopy retrograde colangiopancreatography)
CONCLUSION
and endoscopic sphincterotomy are the management options for
this case.
ERCP was indicated due to the results of the ultrasound and
liver function tests, which prove the presence of gallbladder
stones. ERCP is considered both a diagnostic and therapeutic
procedure.
