The pathogenesis of drug-induced pancreatitis does not appear to differ from other causes of AP. Exactly how medications induce AP is unknown, but postulated mechanisms include immune-mediated inflammatory response, direct cellular toxicity, pancreatic duct...

Pancreatic dysfunction, heralded by large increases in serum amylase and lipase, is associated with the use of several reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs). Didanosine appears to be the worst offender, and pancreatitis is the most characteristic adverse effect of this particular NRTI. Conditions enhancing susceptibility to drug-induced pancreatic dysfunction include hypertriglyceridemia, hypercalcemia, and history of excessive ethanol use. Liver dysfunction including hepatitis may occur with the antitu-bercular drugs, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide. Cholestasis is associated with the estolate form of erythromycin.
