Summary:Alcoholism of long standing is the major cause of acute pancreatitis. Ethanol is well recognized as a chemical toxin, but a significant injurious effect on pancreatic acinar or duct cells has yet to be demonstrated. It also stimulates secretion from small intestine, which triggers the exocrine pancreas to release pancreatic juice. When these effects occur together the results may be disastrous. Homoeopathic management needs accurate data collection, to exact assessment of the state and stage of disease with awareness of developing complications. Arriving at exact simillimum in acute state with definition of susceptibility and assessment of remedy response needs close observation and monitoring. Having an inpatient department set up manned by PG student is an asset for this management. Case study demonstrates this effort by the team.
