Aim.

Acute pancreatitis is typically a mild disease, but some patients develop severe courses.

Fatty liver changes are seen in patients with acute pancreatitis, but its clinical significance has not been well-studied.

We aimed to investigate the relationship between fatty liver and the severity of acute pancreatitis.

Methods.

Unenhanced CT images of patients with acute pancreatitis were retrospectively reviewed by a radiologist, and mean hepatic and splenic attenuation was measured in Hounsfield units (HU).

Fatty liver was defined as mean hepatic/splenic HU<1.

Results.

Among 200 patients, fatty liver was found in 67 (33.5%) and nonfatty liver in 133 (66.5%).

Compared with patients without fatty liver, the severity of pancreatitis and levels of serum C-reactive protein were higher in fatty liver patients.

The prevalence of local complications, persistent organ failure, and mortality were also higher in patients with fatty liver.

Even after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and cause of pancreatitis, fatty liver was significantly associated with moderately severe or severe acute pancreatitis.

Conclusions.

Fatty liver may play a prognostic role in acute pancreatitis.

Fatty liver could be incorporated into future predictive scoring models.
