There is reported association between acute pancreatitis and COVID-19 as SARS-CoV-2 receptors are expressed in the pancreas. Despite biases, further investigation is necessary to explore this hypothesis.
Case reports and retrospective cohort studies have reported an association between acute pancreatitis and COVID-19. As SARS-CoV-2 (the causative agent of COVID-19) receptors are expressed in the pancreas and endothelial damage can occur, this association is plausible. However, this hypothesis has many biases and needs further investigation.
