The main causes of acute pancreatitis shock

The main causes of acute pancreatitis shock include decreased effective circulating blood volume, vasodilation, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.

1. Decreased effective circulating blood volume

Acute pancreatitis can cause abdominal exudate, vomiting and other symptoms, which can lead to loss of body fluids, so that effective circulating blood volume decreases, resulting in hypovolemic shock.

2. Vasodilation

Acute pancreatitis patients also abnormally absorb a large number of protein decomposition products, resulting in toxic shock.

3. Gastrointestinal bleeding

Acute pancreatitis can cause stress ulcers, leading to massive bleeding in the digestive tract, resulting in hemorrhagic shock.
