Acute pancreatitis, a common gastrointestinal ailment in the United States, often lacks a clear etiology, with one-third of cases deemed idiopathic. We discuss an 84-year-old woman with acute pancreatitis possibly linked to a recently introduced weight loss supplement containing apple cider vinegar. Literature review unveils scant data regarding the risks of acute pancreatitis associated with less rigorously studied and regulated supplements, such as apple cider vinegar products. Considering the morbidity and financial burden associated with acute pancreatitis, there is a pressing need to report and disseminate awareness of diverse etiologies, encompassing drug and supplement-induced cases. This case report endeavors to address this need.
急性胰腺炎是美国一种常见的胃肠道疾病，通常病因不明，三分之一的病例被认为是特发性的。我们讨论了一名84岁的患有急性胰腺炎的女性，其病因可能与最近引入的一种含有苹果醋的减肥补充剂有关。文献综述显示，关于与研究和监管不太严格的补充剂（如苹果醋产品）相关的急性胰腺炎风险的数据很少。考虑到急性胰腺炎相关的发病率和经济负担，迫切需要报告和传播对各种病因的认识，包括药物和补充剂引起的病例。本病例报告旨在满足这一需求。
