Core Tip	We analyzed the results of a nationwide epidemiological survey of acute pancreatitis (AP) in Japan to clarify the impact of pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM) on the clinical course of AP. AP patients with DM had higher mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular and renal failure than those without DM. About 35% of the idiopathic AP patients with DM had renal failure. If stratified by etiology, idiopathic, but not alcoholic or biliary, AP patients with DM had higher mortality than those without DM. Impaired glucose tolerance might have an impact on the development and clinical outcome of AP.
