Abstract:  
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and prognosis of acute pancreatitis in children with kidney disease in Ali Asghar Hospital between 2016 and 2020.
Material and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study, children with kidney disease who developed acute pancreatitis between 2016 and 2020 were studied. All patients with kidney disease who were hospitalized in the kidney ward of Ali Asghar Hospital were retrospectively evaluated and patients with acute pancreatitis were included in the study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software version 26 and for quantitative variables mean and standard deviation and for qualitative variables absolute frequency and percentage were recorded.
Results: Finally, 12 patients with kidney disease had acute pancreatitis. The mean age of the 12 participants was 9.05 ± 4.27 years. The mean duration of kidney disease was 5.7 ± 3.52 years. Four patients (33.3%) had a history of pre-pancreatitis infection. Three patients (25%) had nephrotic syndrome. Seven patients (58.3%) had end-stage renal disease. Nine patients (75%) were on dialysis.
Conclusion: During the five-year period, only 12 cases of acute pancreatitis with a history of kidney disease were observed, none of which had a positive family history, and eventually all survived. Three-quarters of the cases also received dialysis treatment, and all cases presented with a clinical presentation of abdominal pain at first.
