yes why?
usually acute pancreatitis starts with an insult...
ther is no such history plus the cause of acute pancreatitis in alcoholism isnt because of hyperlipoproteinemia...otherwise every person with hyperlipoproteinemia with a LOT more than type IV acquired VLDL incrase should have it...
in alcoholism...the thickened secretions of pancreatic fluid forming plugs is implicated as the causative reason but this doesnt give the particular history...
reet from where did you get this question?
