Abstract

Chronic calcific pancreatitis (CCP) is a progressive fibro-inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, commonly associated with long-term alcohol consumption. It can lead to multi- system complications, including hepatobiliary dysfunction, metabolic derangements, and cardiovascular events. We report a case of a 36-year-old male with CCP, complicated by ascending cholangitis, acute kidney injury (AKI), atrial fibrillation (AF), and alcohol dependence syndrome, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary management in such complex presentations.

 Keywords: Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis (CCP); Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
