how acute pancratitis can cause ards and dic explain in 1 liner for sticky note
ARDS: Pancreatic enzymes + cytokine storm (IL-1, TNF-α) damage pulmonary capillary endothelium → protein-rich fluid floods alveoli → non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
DIC: Trypsin activates the coagulation cascade systemically → widespread microvascular clotting consumes clotting factors + platelets → paradoxical bleeding.
Sticky note version:
Acute Pancreatitis → ARDS: Enzyme/cytokine release destroys lung capillaries → alveolar flooding. Acute Pancreatitis → DIC: Trypsin triggers systemic coagulation → clotting factors consumed → bleed out.
