RE: Is pH of the contrast solution a determinant of post-ERCP panceatitis?

[Guest guest]

Well, there's another one for my files (along with Von's NSAID post). Thanks, Dave!

Conclusions: Low pH contrast solutions contribute to the development

of pancreatitis through a TRPV1-dependent mechanism. It is possible

that increasing the pH of contrast solution and/or adding an agent

that inhibits primary sensory nerve activation may reduce the risk of

post-ERCP pancreatitis.
