Sitagliptin-induced Pancreatitis: Chronic Use Would Not Spare You the Complication

Medication-induced pancreatitis is an overlooked cause of acute pancreatitis. We present an 81-year-old male patient with acute sharp epigastric pain radiating to his back, who was found to have lipase of more than 30,000 U/L. The patient denied current alcohol use. Abdominal ultrasound and abdomina...

description Medication-induced pancreatitis is an overlooked cause of acute pancreatitis. We present an 81-year-old male patient with acute sharp epigastric pain radiating to his back, who was found to have lipase of more than 30,000 U/L. The patient denied current alcohol use. Abdominal ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography scan revealed no gallstones or biliary duct abnormalities. The patient had been taking sitagliptin for eight years. Supportive treatment with intravenous fluids, pain medications, and early feeding adequately treated his disease. With our case, we aim to increase awareness of sitagliptin-induced pancreatitis, regardless of the duration of use.
