A member asked:
What are the survival chances if diagnosed with acute pancreatitis with ards and arf and unstable blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varible: The scenario carries a high mortality but age and few co-morbidities may allow one to survive it. ARDS implies significant pancreatic damage such that the lungs and subsequent kidneys fail, necessitating mechanical ventilation and dialysis. Attention to fluid balance, nutrition and possible infection improve the odds of survival.
