  1. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

          1. TISSUE NECROSIS AND SEVERE INFLAMMATION OF PANCREAS
            1. Enzymes and cell contents leak into general circulation and may cause:
              1. SHOCK
                1. DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION
                  1. ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME
